Between the replies on here and talking to a few friends that don’t get on this site, it looks like there is plenty of interest and we should have a good turnout.
The date will be Saturday, Nov 3.
Take off from anywhere on the lake and lines in the water at 7:45 AM.
Weigh in will be at the SCE&G boat ramp at Hilton at 12:30 PM.
Everyone can weigh in one fish. Biggest fish pays 70%. Second pays 30%.
Leave your bait tanks at home. Artificials only!
Send me a PM for the address to send the $5/person entry fee . There is no entry fee for kids under 16, but let me know if you have any kids fishing. If we are going to have some kids fishing I’ll make sure we have some prizes for a kids division.
I think that covers it, but let me know if I forgot anything.

Just bumping this up to the top again as a reminder this is coming up this Saturday. Please let me know if you plan on fishing and I’ll get my address to you.
The long range forecast is looking good with the winds dying off and a warming trend for the later part of the week. It will be chilly in the morning for sure, but warming up nicely as the day goes on.
The fishing will be a bit of an unknown with this front coming through and the possibilty of the lake turning over, but it looks like it will be a beautiful day to be on the lake.
At least it’s not going to be in the 30’s Sat. morning. I was ready to break out the artic gear. Did I mention that I HATE</font id=“red”> cold weather? I’d be happy if it was 95 degrees all year long.
See ya’ll Saturday!

Slight change in the forecast with the winds now continuing through Friday, but dying down for Saturday. Looks to still be a chilly start in the morning, but warming up nicely as the day goes on.

I got things cleared up for Saturday. Count me in!
Fishing was tough today for me and I only got 1 fish…and it wasn’t even a keeper. The wind made it tough to fish, but I really wasn’t marking alot of fish anyway…never could seem to find them. Saw quite a bit of bait around 40-50 ft and some fish, but no real good concentrations. Covered alot of water and probably saw the most signs of life around the Big Gap where I got my only fish. Never saw any schooling at all.
Tomorrow’s looking to be a beautiful day with lighter winds…hoping they cooperate better tomorrow.
Good luckj to everyone and see you at Hilton at 12:30.
good luck to all you striper fisherpeoples. son and i are heading to bulls bay for some shrimping. hope to get a cooler full. if carolina seafood has any then i know that i will cooler out in one pass of the credit card. i can pour these in my cooler and make up any story that i want along with pictures. have fun on the lake.
Same here. Thanks Tim. It was good to put faces to the names here. I’d do it again(hopefully the fish will be more cooperative.
Since everyone had just as tough of a time as we did, I’ve decided to give Murrymaker another chance to put me on some of the fish he’s always catching. Thanks for the tour of the lake, Chip.
Seriously, thanks for letting me ride fish with you.

Yes many thanks to Tim again. Great fun was had by all i am sure…just not during the fishing/riding on the lake…lol… Hope to do it again soon with out the turn over.
Did manage my largest largemouth ever. Took a 3.5oz spoon in 40’ of water. Didn’t hear if it was a certain type of tourney, Just it was artificials only…lol… should have brought it to the weigh in.
Well, we said it was gonna be some tough fishing…sure would have been nice to be wrong though.
Still a beautiful day to be on the water and good to see everyona at the weigh in.
Congratz to Jorge for his first place fish and to Woody for finishing up second. Please spend your winnings wisely. I would hate to see you guys on one of those programs where they show people that have come into a windfall and blow it and wind up broke.
Thanks for the tour of the lake, Chip.
