What I learned on my SC vacation, or how to fish two on a Livescope...

[Slab]

Some of you all may know I was in South Carolina last week at Whitey Outlaw's writers camp. To put it mildly, it was awesome. First writers camp where we didn't have to worry about the “vid”, although I did take lots of vids, aka videos! Lol.....My daughter would call that “dad humor”.


Anyway, the fishing was great, the company was great, I learned a ton, and the entertainment was even great. More about the entertainment later.


So lets get started, the fishing was actually pretty tough. We could see fish, but we couldn't get them to bite. You really had to work for them. Whitey and his son Matt showed me how they do it with the two of them operating like a machine over one Livescope. This was the learning experience. Matt would run the Livescope and cast as he would normally do if he were fishing alone. But there was Whitey standing to his side and casting right behind his cast. They were fishing brush piles, and when the fish would not bite, Whitey would grab a slip bobber rig and put a minnow right on top the structure.


They used Precision Crappie Rods with Slime Line. The Slime Line was 4 LB test Champion Edition “Super Stretch”. The Super Stretch part was the cool part. This stuff stretches a lot more than normal mono-filament, and they say that's why they don't loose the big fish. As some of you know, I'm not a big fan of 4lb test. I'd opt for the 6lb test, but that's just me cause I hate loosing jigs on trees! Doh


Here's a video Whitey made for me describing the Slime Line.




And here's another video of Whitey and Matt fishing like I described over one Livescope. Pretty cool. These guys got it down pat.

Just now read my first post, got to love my work computer.
I meant to ask:
What/what did they do? Used jigs before they changed to slip bobber rig and put a minnow?
