I was on the water yesterday at mid-lake Clarks Hill and the water was as clear as it has been this year. Several feet of visibility. I don't know how the rain we had last night will effect it, but...

Those are such good looking crappie fillets it probably didn't matter how you cooked them, they were going to be good. I have not tried blackening them but those look really good. My staples are...

Nice rig!

I think you could be right. Growing up in South Alabama, we did not have lakes deep enough to see fish like that. When I look at that picture of the one with the stripe compared to the black crappie,...

First, if I don't start catching more fish than I have so far this spring, freezing too many is not going to be an issue :biggrin. As far as how many packs, it depends on how large the packs are. I...

I took your advice and gave the stripers a try today just trolling. I caught one that was over 30 inches. I don't know what it weighed but the length to weight chart for stripers would put it at 12...

It looks like the Clarks Hill lake level has leveled out at about 331.3. That's 1.3 above full pool and about a foot and half above where it was before the rains. Temperatures also look pretty level...

It is going to be interesting on the Hill. Not sure how much the lake level will end up rising but it is already above full pool. I am also not really sure what the crappie are doing. The water temp...

That is a good looking bunch of fish. Congrats. If you don't mind, maybe you can help a newbie to livescope crappie fishing out. Once you find a school like that, how are you catching them and how...

I have a pair of Group 27 Cabela's AGM batteries that I am pretty sure I bought before the Bass Pro merger. That would make them about 7 yrs old so I have got my money's worth out of them. Pretty...

Yes. At least for as long as my trolling motor batteries held out. I am trying to put off buying new batteries so I can only get 2 or 3 hrs with the wind we had yesterday. I think I am going to have...

Went back out for a bit this afternoon. The debris on the surface from yesterday was gone. Did not help my fishing much but I did catch a few. One strange thing I noticed was that there was a band of...

That is about what I was seeing yesterday afternoon. 58 to 59 degrees. I was gone for almost 2 weeks and it was warmer when I left. I only went out for a little while yesterday before the rain hit...

Same here. I have even had brush piles I trolled over and picked up a couple every time I went over them. I decided the heck with this, I will just sit in that spot and cast to them. No go. I don't...

I have not heard anything on the striper fishing in that area, but from a study done when they put the oxygen system in, the stripers are pretty spread out this time of the year. A lot of them go up...

I also ran across this sale and bought the 106. I recalled a few years ago someone posting here or somewhere else that they exchanged the transducer that came in their package with another one...

You are probably right. I got Garmin Livescope earlier in the year. I did some long lining with the transducer facing forward. I noticed fish would dive to the bottom when I got somewhere between...

Sorry, missed this post earlier, but middle section of the lake. Good news is the lake is now down to about 331.4 or 1.4 ft above full pool and clearing up more. Bad news is three days of rain is...

Went this afternoon in my part of the lake. Debris was not too bad except in some pockets where it looked like they were protected from the wind. There could still be some big stuff floating around....

I made up my user name based on it being in the middle part of Clarks Hill. Landam Creek on the SC side which is across from Shriver Creek on the GA side. I checked my dock late yesterday afternoon...

Look on the bright side, if you have a campsite on the lake, it is going to be even closer to the lake.:biggrin

I am going up later this afternoon and I expect I would have to wade through about 3...

Just a heads up, but the lake just got 5 inches of rain in the last 3 days. The level is 3.5 ft above full pool:yikesand still rising. I am sure they will try to let it out as the river downstream...

Those fish can have you spending your next 30 minutes or so trying to untangle lines. I once ran across a school of them while long lining. I had 8 lines out and had 5 of them hook the small hybrids...

Have you tried a 3 lb hybrid with that setup? You will need some spare time to try to land it, particularly if you have other lines out. I caught a 6 lb hybrid one time with an ultra lite setup and...

Hardcore tournament bass fishermen fish with one thing in mind and that is bragging rights in their tournaments. I am not surprised he would pick up and leave if he is catching hybrids. The thing is,...

There seems to be a lot more pressure everywhere on Clarks Hill these days. It picked up during the pandemic and still seems to be high. One thing I have seen is a lot more people out long-lining...

Really! We have seen the pictures. If I could catch fish like he does I wouldn't worry about electronics. It might actually slow him down for a while as he plays with the new fishfinder instead of...

Another thing I have ran into a few times is the throttle not being completely in the neutral position. Looked like it was in neutral, but just moving it a little allowed the engine to crank.

As...

Now that you have had a little time with your Livescope, bottom line, has it put more fish in the boat? Thinking about getting one but have not pulled that trigger.

What threw me off was the first two just jumped all over it on the first pass. Then the rest of their buddies wised up. Hard to leave them when you know they are there and they were biting just a few...
