I was pitching big jigs (mop jigs and other homemade hand-tied) jigs around cypress trees and docks close to deep water. These fish are preparing to spawn soon. Give them another 3 weeks or so and santee will bust wide open with spawners.

Practicing for a upcoming tournament I found a few fish around docks and cypress trees with close proximity to deep water. I was pitching around a mag trick worm and a big jig.

Fish are stacking up in small schools on shallow stumps. Fast cranking a lipless has been great for numbers and big fish lately.

Packs landing backwaters from river. Bite was slow but caught 2 over 4 lbs sitting in deeper water around 8-12 feet casting to 2-3 feet cypress tree edges.

Got to fish Lake Marion with a friend on New Year’s Day. The rain we got the last few weeks has brought the lake levels up a good bit. However, the bite is still a little tough. We planned on a crankbait trip, but it didn’t happen. We caught our fish around deep and shallow brushpiles. Was able to pick one fish off a cypress tree on the blade. We had the opportunity for a bigger bag, but a few came off before we got them to the boat. I’m so ready for the next trip!

Cast or drop jigs over brush and structure in 20’. Fish are schooled up and chasing bait out deep. Not much activity in the creeks just yet.
