    I think that's an old wives tale. It's the same water that runs through Norman, Wylie, and Santee. I have eaten stripers, craps, cats, and white perch for 30 years and they are all lip smacking good in my opinion.

    Check out www.fishscam.com. Don't know who is telling the truth. Just make your own decision.

    I have caught BooCoo crappie out of Wateree and I do think they have a "bad taste" which I tribute too the amout of shad they eat . The taste I am talking about ,taste just like shad smell. The crappie out of Wateree are the fattest of any lake I have fished in the South East & just like any other critters they WILL taste like the food they eat IF they eat enough of it ( wild turkey & rabbits have a wild onion taste if they have been eating it) , What I do is fillett the crappies, soak the filletts in water in the fridge for a few days & chage the water as often as 3-4 times a day , also I put salt & Vinagar in the water as it help take the fishy shad taste out & also firms the meat up in warmer weather . After the filletts have soaked for a day, you can skim the "fat" off the top of the water , rub your hands togather in that fat & it smells like shad , hence the taste that some people speak of

    just my 2 cents worth

    Been fishing and eating crappie, catfish, bream, bass, and a few striper out of Wateree, literally every weekend for a couple years until my grandpa passed away and we lost our place there since I was 2.

    thanks for the link. It is right on. I have been somewhat worried about stripers from wateree and this makes me feel a lot better.
