Was going to take the wife striper fishing last weekend, but the fridge died and spent Saturday waiting on the repairman. Probably going to give it a try this Saturday. Will try stripers first, but if it is as muddy as I suspect it will be, that could be a short try. I have never fished for the blue cats in Wateree. If we give them a try, any general hints on this time of year? Not specific areas, just depths and general areas. We put in at clearwater cove. I usually take a few worms and catch a few perch for cutbait on Tillery. Can you do the same on Wateree? Will have my casting net as well for a few shad, but I usually do just as good with perch on tillery. By the way I usually drift with a santee rig and slinky weights that I make.
