Thread: Santee Questions

That wind is definitely tough on the lower lake Allen. I would prefer to fish Moultrie for the tournament but I don't think they'll be on our deep brush in 2 weeks.

We did manage a few fish in Tawcaw but not the size we were looking for. Ended up in Potatoe and fished from the back to the front and manage a couple of nice fish but a tough bite it was. Gotta get on Jacks before our tournament there on the 31rst but the lakes off limits to me now until Thursday before the tourney.

Marked a lot of fish in both areas yesterday but there must be a severe case of lockjaw going on right now on Santee. Didn't see many longliners out there and I would suppose, based on Ink's other posts, the nice uns are prolly on the way to the bank.

I fished Jack's on Sunday. All 5 crappie I caught were tight on structure. Started tightlining the back and to fish with both anchors deployed during afternoon wind in timber and got the three biggies in 13 fow. I hope water warms some and get back out again. Didn't catch many but seems I always catch a hog when I go with this trip yielding a 16" 2.3 lber. I also cant buzz around the lake with a pro-v and extra long shaft outboard.

I was at Jack's on Friday and did pretty good, but didn't limit out tho. I wasn't in any hurry getting there and didn't start fishing until almost 11. Most were in the 13" to 15", male and female. All were in in 6 foot of water fishing over brush piles about 2 to 3 foot deep. I did the same about 2 weeks earlier. You just have to find were there are at.
