Sounds good Roland, I'm with ya as far as time of year. Beginning mid April, through November it is prime time one pole jigging. My favorite by a long shot.
Haven't had a chance to post on here like I have in years past, but I have still been fishing. Overall it has been a banner year so far in both numbers and size of fish caught. Have fished Greenwood, Murray, Clarks Hill, and even took a 4 day trip to Santee in March (Santee was by far our worst few days of fishing, but did catch quality fish). Caught a few tightlining in early January, but since the end of January our method of choice has been longlining, with deciding to cast jigs for a small tournament that we fished this past weekend. Have fished 4 tournaments this year and have been blessed to win 2 of them (it had been a few years since we won one), with our worst finish being 5th.
Our most recent trip was this weekend my uncle and I fished a local tournament on Greenwood and probably had our largest summertime stringer on Greenwood in several years with the top 7 weighing 11-8. All fish were caught in 10-20 fow jigging or casting to some type of structure. I fish year around but this time of year has come to be my favorite time of year to fish (I know I am in the minority here). I love to longline, but it is hard to beat that one pole thump. I will post a few pics of trips so far this year. I hope everyone on here is doing good, tightlines to all!

I'm with you on the one rod thump, I tried the long line, tight line gig but my favorite is throwing a 1/32oz. jig at cover and that is pretty much all I do. I am expanding my horizons though and starting to try the vertical jigging on some of the places that I've been catching fish and plan to pick them apart just as soon as my boat gets back out of the shop!
You can't catch fish from the couch.
