Thread: High Rock 4/24...

Left the house this morning around 9....

Got to Daddy Rabbits to get some minnows and some gas but remembered when I got there that I left two decals on the back of the boat that I was getting ready to put on ! Well they flew off somewhere so I drove back once and found one.....drove back towards Daddy Rabbits again and found the other ... Luckily no one was behind me but way to start my day!!! ...

Finally put in at the Southmont landing at about 10... First stop was around the Old Bringle Ferry Rd bridge at the Tamarac Marina and I was catching them deep near the bottom at about 20ft on minnows and drifting jigs behind the boat. Changed my tactics to regular trolling with jigs, was using blue/chart, black/chart, blue/white, my ugly color, and yellow/white. Maybe I was doing something wrong and caught three channel cats, the biggest one on a minnow/10ft BnM Crappie rod with 6lb test(what a fight!) and two on blue/white jigs... Caught the biggest Crappie on black/chart but anything with red on it couldn't get a mosquito to bite ....

Went to fish along the rail road track on #8, caught some more 10's and 11's there to bring along, was using a yellow/white jig and drifting minnows under a split shot.

Left there and decided fish around the piers and docks by Holloways Church Rd, the fish were everywhere except the piers and docks! I was using black/chart and blue/green jigs, I made casts to the bank and caught them in a foot or two of water... the majority of them were about 9" but were released. Even caught one on a bare hook when I left my rod hanging off the side LOL!


I came home with a darker tan, 17 Crappie, 3 Catfish, 2 fat white perchs.

Water clarity was as normal as High Rock gets at Second and Abbotts lol... water temp: I don't know.

Learned a few things today.... and after catching 40+ Crappie.... the Bluegill got away with my jig

Sounds like a great day to me! Them little bluegill can strip a line clean, can't they? :D

Sounds like you had a good day fishin. Im going to Norman today at two, and to Wateree tomorrow.

thanks for the update Supra

thanks for the report

Nice report. Glad you found the Decals!!! I call the bluegills "Machine Guns". That is they way the hit. Feels like they nibble at 100mph!!

yeah, I should have done a loop knot instead of a clinch
