    It's kind of wide and brown. [img]graemlins/fu.gif[/img]

    I grew up fishing that area and never get a chance to get up there anymore. There are a couple of sandbars that we could wear the big rockfish out on chunking creek chubs and striper swipers.

    There is nothing quite as cool as dragging a 20 pound rock up on the bar after fighting her in that current...

    Fished an hour today until severe t-storm warnings were called in. Only one fish caught 1/4 mile past the sandbar measuring 16 inches. Most likely will be back on sunday. We might stop by to crack one with you sunday KRT. Look for the 15 ft. triton carrying 3 intoxicated individuals, a bucket of KFC, and hopefully a few 20+ inch stripers. The river was close to normal flow, but the wind was ripping between the sandbar and Belle Grove. Can't exactly say the fishing is great, but it's still worth getting out there.

    Just check the streamflow conditions found as a link on this site . Just look for the Congaree river in Columbia . It will give you the average and current depth . Lately , it's been high and really muddy .


    Did you catch any fish ?
