Fished deep brush piles on south end of Wateree all day and only caught one crappie. Still it was an awesome trip due to a chance meeting last week with a retired Navy veteran who asked me to take him fishing. At 83 years old, he is still in good shape and had no trouble making himself at home on the pontoon boat. This man served our country for 33 years, seeing action in both Korea and Vietnam. Being a Navy vet myself, we had a lot in common and spent the day swapping sea stories. One of the coolest fishing trips of my life, and an honor to have him on my boat. Just goes to show, the fish don’t have to bite to have a good day on the water.
