Cody and I had a rough time getting bait, but finally ended up with a few dozen in Wateree Creek. Since we were already there, we went up to the river where there were several boats cut baiting. I don't carry an anchor, so we put out the freelines and planer boards and pulled the banks. Caught 6 fish pretty quick then the bite pretty much quit. Left and ran back down the lake to one of my spots near Beaver Creek. Found a pretty good bunch of fish and finished our day pulling down rods. Left the lake around 6:00 with 2 limits and one bait left in the tank. Pretty good day, but very long.

Keith,
when you went up the river did you mean that you guys went up toward stumpy pond dam? or just up Wateree Creek?

We were in the river, just below Cedar Creek dam. Never made it past the first island on the right.

When are you planning to go back to Wateree?
