Post Caribbean Trip

[Inkdabber]

Made it to lake on Friday after the wife and I had spent the last week and half in the Caribbean for a little R&R. We so enjoyed the trip and sights that it made it hard to get back to reality. All the fishing reports I heard after our return were poor at best, so my feelings for success were low. The winds were up when I arrived at the lake, but I started the day long lining anyways. Trolled about 1.5 hours without a bite. Decided to switch tactics as a last ditch effort. Pulled out the jig pole and headed towards the shallows. First tree nary a bite, second a nice buck crappie. I fished the next few hours jigging grass and trees in waters 5 feet and less bagging a nice limit of crappie, a couple of bass and fliers. Turned out to be a good day even though I had to work to catch what I did.



First fish of the day.

Wondered where you went, sounds like fun. I think the Santee crappie are the darkest colored of any I see. Nice job.

Good catch ink. I brought my boy down for some longlining with hopes of a fun trip but probably the worst i have seen on santee. Had the fish you caught spawned out or in the process

I feel they are staging up and in the process. Hens are still carrying full egg sacs.
