Aquaman and I went to SC today with the pontoons,fished from 1230-430 Pm.Five nice Cutts (Fishcrazy 5,Aquaman 0).Sc is wide open!water temp was 38 degrees,made for some cold feet,plus Aquaman found he had leaks in his waders.Saw fisher persons at CC east,The Ladders,and Jakes bay.Looked crowded.

Glad you were able to get some to say hello. I went up this morning for a bit and had some nibbles, but none wanted to hang around much. Sure was nice up there today!

Thanks for the report. What were you throwin at em? Dark colored marabou jigs always seem to be the ticket for me early on.

Tell tunaman , not to feel too bad getting skunked . I did too , after losing about 30 bucks in gear . But I wouldn't call it wide open either . Maybe 50% open when I left .

That's a pricey trip there Randy. Did you get the seat mount in your boat fixed?

I fixed my seat last summer . I fished from shore yesterday . I lost 2 hook ups but the water is high and rocks and brush was hitting my lures more than the fish . Here is a pic of the ladders from a different view .

I didn't get there till 4:00pm . Should of pulled the boat up there , but the ice was moving with the wind so you need to be careful . Docks are in at Aspen .

You were throwing pointers in weeds again from shore. You can't work a lure retriever from the bank. Try inline spinners like Panther Martins or Blue Fox. These always used to work good from shore. Plus, I would wade out and try to hit the ice with my casts. Becarefull though, you step in a hole water comes over the top of your waders and shrinkage will be your next problem.

I tried Black marabou jigs,but got them all on a white tube jig.If I had had a black marabou on when I got into them,that would have done the trick also I think.

When were you there?We launched from the main boat ramp,and the only ice I could see from there was over by the Dam.

I didn't get there till about 4:00pm and fished till 7:00pm .Fished the dam and Stinking Srings area .
