Spent yesterday evening wading the shoals from just below the Shandon rapids to the junction with the Broad. Saw lots of groups of keeper sized fish. I walked up on one monster yesterday evening on my way back up river. he was sitting on the edge of the hole just below the rapids. I didn’t see him until I was too close and he spooked. He was every bit of 36". A real monster.
That’s a fun way to fish the Saluda. If you haven’t tried it you should.
I agree, that is the way I fish it. Just watch the snakes. As low as the river is that is probably the only way to fish a lot of areas. And wherever the boats can fish get hamered. I won the striped-bass-fishing.com tournament this year wading. And caught a 25# one last year wading. I know thats not a monster, but I just moved here last July and never realy striper fished like that before.
Oh lord, don’t mention snakes to bamafan. Nice fish by the way!

they are magnificent creatures that the good Savior above put on this earth for us to enjoy. Please treat our slithering friends with the respect I give brasco and his manboy wreckenso.
“pink speedo and cowboy boots yaaaalll”
I love you guys too.
why don’t you come say that to my pink speedos tuff guy?
“pink speedo and cowboy boots yaaaalll”
I’m not really into the whole masochism thing. But thanks for thinking of me.
Now if you would like to come to Columbia and join me on the Saluda sometime you would be more than welcome.
I would ask that you wear something other than your previous suggestion though.
Reptile snakes don’t like pink…
thats real.
“pink speedo and cowboy boots yaaaalll”
That’s sweet of you.
There is a lot of BSing on here, but from everyone I’ve met in person, I swear we would all get along over a cold one

I wasn’t being sweet. I was added to your vast knowledge of the reptilian specie.
but thanks though.
Sometimes I bite the heads off of gummy worms just because they LOOK like snakes. Especially the ones that look like nonvenemous snakes.

I agree. Wholeheartedly. Hell, anyone who has done a Saluda River rafting trip on an air mattress is alright in my book.

Well then I guess I’ll have to ask you not to wear your ballet shoes if you join me on a snake trip.
They are cowboy boots, I’ve seen 'em. Snakeskin.

I wear cowboy boots not them sissygirl cloud skippers. Get your garbage straight son. Or I will be forced to wrestle you.
“pink speedo and cowboy boots yaaaalll”
Well, I guess those would work… as long as he cleans all the pole grease off of them before he gets in the car.
Wrestle? Is that what you guys call it now?
I think I’ll pass.
Son I know you don’t know me but I’m a mans man. A rugged, hard, barrel chested man…a workin man. With workin man hands. I dont clean nobody’s pole grease off my boots ya hear? I make them clean it off.
I make them.

Did you copy and paste that right from your profile on the singles site? Be honest.

Donkeys? I won’t pay to watch anything less than an Oryx my friend.
You should have seen him spear an old guy at Remley’s in the sternum last week. Straight up World Cup shat. the guy called Stretch’s dog the wrong name. Don’t mess with this maniac, that guy was lucky to only have his sternum broken and 3 ribs cracked.
