For all you Guys and Gals sitting around the house talking about how hot it is, how fish don't bite when it's this hot, how all crappie go deep when the air and water temps get on the high side, I would like to thank you for letting me and my my partner have the whole lake to our selves while snatching up some mighty fine slabs in water 13 feet deep and less, with water temps 90 plus. As the old saying goes, a pretty bait may not catch a lot more fish then an ugly one does, but it certainly will catch more fishermen. The hot water/air has little effects on southern fish, but it certainly keeps the fishermen at home. As summer comes along most fishing reports dry up as the fishermen quit going, not because the fish quit biting, but because of the fisherman's inability to adapt. A few changes in techniques, locations, and presentations can keep you catching all year long. Here's a few pics from this past Thursday and Friday while fishing the Santee Cooper lakes. Fish were caught on both jigs and minnows, with the nod again going to the live bait. Most fish were caught in and around structure like wood and vegetation.
