SUBJECT: it's raining at Badin
Submitted by bigjohn (24.136.158.82) from NORTH CAROLINA on
Fished this morning (Sunday) from 6:30-9:30. Picked up 3 small stripers (less than 2 pounds) on umbrella rigs with swim baits. Nothing on the downrigger bucktails.
Couldn't find any live bait in the back of Garr Creek but didn't look very long since I knew I wouldn't have long to fish before the weather blew me out. I'm having a tough time finding bait-- here today, gone tomorrow. Guess I should have gone up to the dam.

I know bait has been a pain on Badin lately. It's been hit or miss w/good bait at the dam too. No shortage of waccamaw's up there though. If your out before sunrise your spotlight will help you find the bait in the shallow's. Last night I went to High Rock flathead fishing and bait was a piece of cake. The bridge at Tamarac and at Abbott's creek has plenty. 2 throws and I had about 13 dozen, mix of threads and gizzards. Just a though if your anywhere near the Rock. We only got a few flatties, but they were nice, 16 and 24 lbs., broke off on a another in the 20 lb. class. Good Luck, Jim -

Shad are at the banks at high rock -

I picked those up between the rock wall and Garr Creek about 50 yards off the bank. Marked a ton of fish but just couldn't get anything decent to hit. -

Big John how deep are you fishing? I think I am fishing to deep.Thanks

bigjohn (24.136.158.82) from NORTH CAROLINA says not too deep
Caught my fish at 15 feet deep or so --again, nothing to brag about though. May try in the morning if I can get up. LONG week and REALLY long day today.
