It is working up here in N.C. here is a pic from high rock Saturday. Long lined in about 18 fow. Kept these 20 and released more than that in the 8 to 9 inch range. Also caught a bunch of cats. Pulled jigs across one point and had 4 cats on at once. What a mess. Cut up 3 outfits to clear everything. Didn’t go across that point again.

Butch,

I heard a good trolling report from both our Russell and Hill favorite areas last week. So I tried trolling on Clarks Hill Friday morning and had success during the first two hours of the trip. Caught almost thirty with fifteen good keepers to 12". Tried brush with little success then switched to deepwater dropshotting where I found a ton of perch and small stripers. Water temps between 8am and noon ranged from 67 to 71...so yes, it's prime time!

Thanks for those tips guys. My next couple days off will more than likely be fishing instead of hunting. Deer season lasts until Jan 15th so I can miss a couple days I think.

Most of my brush was empty today at wateree. Caught all but 3 fish suspended away from brush.

Water temp is holding in low 70's now. 74 yesterday. Crappie will follow the bait as it moves back in the creeks. Definitely time to break out the long lines.

Hey Butch, have you been out fishing with a livescope yet?
