Thread: SC little river today

Fished SC little river today and had a good day for crappie. I rode up the river searching for fish and finally found some. They were scattered in 20 to 30 ft of water. Caught around 30 with a lot of small fish. Waded through them and brought home 12 crappie and 1 6 lb striper. Had 2 others hung but they broke my line. Water temp was 53 when I got there and warmed up to 55. Pulled jigs on a 1/8 ounce jig head at .8 to 1.0 mph. Caught a lot of fish on the strike king shad delicious. No one color was best. Black blue chartreuse caught a lot of fish. Tipped some jigs with minnows and I think that caused me to loose a lot of fish because the minnows were to big. Don

Good job, thanks for the report.

Glad you had a good day Don. Did you meet up with your buddy I think his name is Jack, right? Was the lake crowded? Thinking about going tomorrow but it will be Murray can't decide to push or pull. Thanks for the report.

thanks for the report Don hope to get down there and fish with you before too long

Don, just wondering did they bite better early or later in the day? Thanks

Mark I did meet Jack and he had a good day to. My fish bit all day long. I was still getting bites when I left at 4 o'clock. He fished a different area than I did. If one finds fish then we call the other. That is why we take two boats.

I was there too. What kind of boat were you in?

That's a good idea Don, I like it. So now if I can get my buddy that fishes with me to buy his own boat! LOL! Oh wait the boat I have now he gave it to me! LOL!!

Sounds like a good day of "catching". Congrats and thanks for the report.

Good report Don. Glad to hear you found the fish biting today as I know it is a long ride for you. When the crappie bite gets right you will enjoy fishing the Hill It's around an 75 mile trip for me to fish there also but I fished that part of the lake all my life and it never is a disappointing trip even when the fish are not biting to well. Just a great lake to spend some time on. Congrats on the catch and I enjoyed your report.
