Thread: Wateree

i got company coming in for the weekend and the women folk is having some kind of hen party saturday and have advised me to make myself scarce. so i MAY be down at wateree doing something. as of yet i dont know what but if i go it may be some catfishing since the water on the upper end probably aint nothing but mud after all this rain.

there is a tournament there this weekend, State Troopers , so It will be plenty of trollers there, it would be a great time for anyone wanting to learn the ins & outs of trolling

Also a catfish-striper tournament out of wateree creek,6:30 to 2:30.$15.00 entry on both,weigh in 5 fish in both.

yea rango get ya a crew up and come on down and fish the tourney with us,we ought to have a decent showing this time since it has warmed up some

Water clarity wasn't bad last night. I think the full moon may have been a factor though - kinda slow. Even OT was struggling a bit. Don't know how he ended up but when I left at 11pm he had 8 Crappie and some White Perch. I caught 1 Crappie, 4 White Perch, 1 small Thug. Slow. BTW, almost no wind, which I heard was the reason behind the absence of the Beast :D

Data from this link: http://stardate.org/nightsky/moon/

Go to the bottom and click on "US Naval Observatory" . Even with a full moon you can tell when the moon will rise which means that even though a full bright moon is coming out it might not mess up a good nightstalk. Each night the moon rises about an hour later.
