Well, I got to fish Murray last Saturday, and did ok. I was paired with Joe Anders from Easley, SC. as my boater. Like most of the people, their shallow bed fishing pattern was dead. Cold weather was the main cause, pushing fish off their beds. Joe did manage 13-7. Me, well, I settled for one fish at 3-13, and lost one when he wrapped himself on a dock piling and cut the line. Hey, I got one at least one. T-rig, jig, and crankbaits were no joy. Wacky fishing caught my one fish and some of Joe's. Most of the good bags were from the upper lake and the river. With warm weather starting, the fish should be back on the beds. Get out and try it.
Those fishing the Costa at Santee Cooper....good luck to you guys, I expect to see some good bags there.
