Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
Man, that used to be a blast catching those things when I was a kid out there.
Wish we could stock some native grasses.... And stop stocking carp.....
“Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965

I had a triple rig and occasionally catch on all 3. The double rig did not wrap as bad.
Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.
DT - with improvements at the hatchery, could a stocking program be implemented?

Need to get rid of the white perch.
The morning I graduated from high school, a buddy and I went with a new way to us fishing for them. I tired of bass fishing, but he was pretty Gung ho about it. He found a spot cranking for them, we caught 65 that morning. It was like work, but every so often a rockfish would join in.
As a kid with a old Jon with a 15 Tiller on them, before decent trolling motors or me being able to afford one, I learned to switch baits chasing them on top. I guess they still make make them, "little george", I could chunk those things a mile longer then poppers. And yeah, I threw plenty of striper swippers. I had one impaled into my abdomen.
Hah. I lost many a little George in that lake
Manns, I loved those things, ha

Oh shit

That one on the left… I had one. Must have been about 7 or so. My older brother and I were in a little Jon boat on my uncles pond. Cast that thing a country mile and got hung on a stump…so we thought. It was a pain because neither of us wanted to paddle that far to retrieve the lure but we did. About the time we got over there a bass (I guess) sucked the lure off the log and it was game on. Think it was 6lbs or so. Pretty nice haul for a 7yo.

We know:
Anytime white perch enter a water system the striper and white bass populations suffer to the point of extinction.
SCDNR has countered this with excessive fish stocking, and to their credit, have succeeded with a credible fishery again.
Could the same not be done for white bass?

Ice fly and popping cork brings back great memories of fishing wateree with my grandad

I’d be happy if they quit stocking striped bass and starting stocking white bass. I miss them.
