Thats one thing about Monticello is that the rain dont affect it much.Capt.Jim do you catch a good many blues on Murray? I just started fishin down there at the beginning of the year and it seems to be loaded with 4 to 12 lb fish.I hadnt had a chance to go for any big ones yet.Do you catch any of any size?

I dont know anyhting about Dreher Island area.The only place I've ever fished was from Rocky Creek to a little above where the big and little saluda meet.At that time I was catchin alot of small 4 to 12 lb blues driftin but if I where goin for a bigger fish I would anchor on the channel ledges and maybe try some of the shallow flats on up near where the saluda comes in.I've only fished there 4 times and caught a good mess of blues everytime but I hadnt had a chance to put much time into huntin a big one.Driftin should still catch fish to though. Go to this site www.tonyslake.com and e-mail Tony tell him I sent you and he should point you in the right direction.He stays on top of the fish down there.

only catz I catch at lake murray are channel catz and a few speckled looking ones

me and my pops
