Two great days
Fished Santee both Thursday and Friday. The winds were a major issue on both days but like the Hartwell post, it didn't hurt the fishing. The fish weren't everywhere, but the areas that held fish, held bunches of them. I caught good numbers, and good quality on both days. Brush and grass both held fish, with brush in the 12 to 15 foot range the best. Jigs caught most of the early morning fish, with minnows dominating the midday bite. Limit catches were made both days, with around 100 total fish caught per day. Many of the crappie still sported their dark colors leaving me to believe they have only recently left the shallows.
A nice fish from Thursday.

Way to go Tim! You had a really nice day today because it wasn't that hot at all. I wish I was able to fish during the week because these weekend trips are crazy! Oh well maybe 1 day. Congratulations on your 2 days of limits and thanks for sharing.

Those are nice fish Ink. Thurs we pulled out a few that were real black too. Some of the fish we cleaned still had a few eggs too. But all were on brush. Question for you, when yall throw back short fish, do you notice the bite slows down? If so, How do yall handle that?

That does happen, especially in clear water, I just live with it and find another brush pile. More fun to go exploring anyway. A DNR officer would not agree with your explanation........now son he would say.......Lol! You cannot have undersized fish period in the boat. Besides in hot water even with the livewell on full blast it stresses them a lot. Generally when the water gets above 70 degrees or so I ice the fish I want to keep then go back to the livewell in the fall. KitOriginally Posted by Fisholishous

Nice catch!
Yep, nice catch for sure! Yea that wind can really be a pain. Catch a fish in a brushpile and while you deal with that with your foot off the trolling motor you are all the way to the dam. Lol!
