Hot Water, Hot Temps, Hot Early Bite
6.26.18
Hot water and hot temps this morn. 86 degree water
Mikey Jr. does it again pulling 3 in before my fishing partner from NC even got his rods untangled.
He caught one on a buzzer. Rotated points and could only scrounge up 2 more. One on Mikey and one on a ned rig.
Fished til 9 and headed to the house.
Decent topwater for a hot day.

Good Hot Summer Morning On Keowee
6.19.18
Hot early morning 72 degree
Hot water 85-86 degrees
Nancy and I got up and out to the lake at 5:45 and fished until 9.
It was hot early and kept getting hotter, but a breeze started coming down the lake from Jocassee to help out a little later in the morning.
We did good while catching 8 spots and one channel catfish today.
They have been munching the Mikey Jr. by Jackall real well and today was no exception as I caught 6 spots burning it across points around Mile Creek.
I bagged one nice 19" spot that was beat up pretty good but still wanting to eat.
Nancy got on board while slow rolling the Keitech swim bait.
I managed to worm up a 17" spot in the Zman Hula Stick and also the catfish.
It was a pretty good morning in spite of the heat.

Whew, That Slowed Down Fast
5.2.18
Water temp high 60's to 70
Cool temps have hit us, but mild days later and the fishing has slowed.
Seems like I can get one nice fish like this every trip, but putting together more than one is difficult.
The topwater bite has slowed to nothing for me.
Leading up to the Keowee Anglers tournament, I established nothing, a bite on a ned rig, a bite on a drop shot, a bite on a crank bait.
Just junking it up.
This is a nice drop shot fish, caught on a zoom sand worm.
Only caught two fish in the little 4 hour tourney.
We will see what happens later this month.

First Fish!
3.9.18
Air: high 50's
Water: 61 degrees
It had to happen sooner or later.
After spending the last month back and forth in Florida, we finally made it out on Keowee to really fish.
I have been twerking on the rods, reels, boat and electronics. The saltwater experience of the last 9 years really has thrown me for a loop when it comes to rigging for the fresh. Trying to remember how to rig rods and reels, electronics and such for clear water fishing has been a new learning experience again. But, I am making progress.
I told Nancy today was the day to bag our first fish.
We spent about 3 hours this afternoon and had two came to the boat.
One was a squeaker and the other was a very nice spot for Keowee.
I had purchased some of the 3/4 oz tungsten swing jig heads at BPS while in Florida.
You can really use them as a search bait on a lake like Keowee.
Teamed up with a hula grub, you can almost use it as a slow crank bait.
This girl hit the bait as it entered the water and the fight was on. I had forgotten how much those spots bulldog you and loved every minute of the battle.
The weather should be turning to the better from here on out and hopefully we can get dialed in on these fish.
This lake is beautiful, but challenging. I can see bottom at 12 feet yesterday!

Gone Baby Gone
January 15, 2018
I didn't think the last time I posted my one little trout that it would be my last post for the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
But, between Hunter's wedding, cold and snow and moving, it ended up being the last time we fished.
Bummer.
But, now it's back to sweet water in the upstate of SC.
Gonna be fun and I'm ready to get started.....oops it's 24 degrees.
Haha.
