Old scout, we pulled jigs from the mouth of colonel creek down to the islands across from clear water cove, when we decided to quit and striper fish. Ive got a friend that has a place on colonel creek and he was as suprised as you when i told him we dint have any luck with the crappie. He probably knows the area from colonel creek to the dam about as good as anyone and when i showed him on the topo map yesterday the places we fished he did point out theyd never had any luck to amount to anything in the areas i showed him. He cautioned me that a lot of places looked good but wasnt very productive. He marked a topo for me, showing me all the hot places he knows on that part of the lake so next time i troll down there ill hit them spots and see what happens. i fished with him a lot a few years ago down there but the exact spots was vague in my memory. we talked to a couple guys who told us most of the crappie was being caught in the upper part of the lake. Ive got a serious bug hammering on me right now and if i feel like it this coming friday im gonna go back to wateree and spend the day striper fishing. I felt so bad down there saturday all i could think about most of the day was gettin back home and gettin to bed. I most definately wasnt at my peak for sure. that last hour of daylight and them stripers we caught perked me up but dint cure me hope to see you down there sometime. dont be bashful about hauling rein and chattin if you run across me.
