Lake Murray trip with Sinkermaker

[satoma]

Had a great trip on the upper end of Lake Murray today with Sinkermaker (Don). I am just starting to try long lining and just moved to the upper end of the lake and Don agreed to take a rookie out to show me some of the better areas up the rivers and tips on long lining. I learned a lot and had a great time with Don.
The Crappie were there but were not in too much of a biting mood. We caught a mixed bag of 3-4 fish. Had one real nice Crappie (no pic) and one real nice Shellcracker (pic with Don and Shellcracker). I also picked up a lot of ideas for equipment and set up of boat for long lining and tight lining.
A good day with a new friend.

Sharing info is what it's all about here on CDC. Glad you guys hooked up and caught a few. Congrats.

I enjoyed the trip and I am glad I was able to help you on Murray. We will do it again in the future and see if we can find some biting fish. When I left you I ran out of gas about half way home. Old farts never learn

CBNC did catch some but not as many as big as what i caught.

That is a nice Shellcracker. After learning a little bit about how to fish for them last year, I am anxious to try them this spring. I think they start about the time the crappie spawn is over.
Did yo catch him on a jig while long lining?
