South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

I been wanting to get in some early spring smallmouth fishing

 

Stone mountain is only about 45 min from me. I never have much luck there though. I'll have a few really good hits and miss them and then nothing. I did manage to catch a copper head on a small popping bug last year though.. didn't know there were any smallies up there though

 

I still have a clunking sound in my front end occasionally that seems to be speed bump/bump related. if it is the UCA's can I just replace the bushings or is that something that's better off just being fully replaced? @ahspurlock

 

you can do just the bushings but you will have to press them out be better to replace the hole ucas

 

ok sounds good.

 

Yeah I think I know that hole. Always got swimmers in the summer lol

 

I know the north end of the Yadkin is okay for smallies

 

The struggle is real!

 

Ill be trying to hit up some creeks up in TN this weekend. hopefully theyre biting! all this fishing talk has me jonesing to wet a line

 

haha sure does!

 

So, who here turkey hunts. Just like every spring for the last 20+, I'm getting excited. I'm a fanatic. I hunt every day of the season unless there are BAD storms. I really hate the state of SC for reducing the tags to 3 this year. One of the main reasons that I agreed to move to SC was because they had a 5 bird limit. May have to move to TN now!

 

I do! best time of the year! I hate my job because our boat season starts when turkey season starts. I usually only 5 or 6 days in the woods now... but god do I love the sound of a gobbler going off 50 yards away at the ass crack of dawn!

 

Yeah I'm from winston.. I knew there was a few people that guided the Rockford area.

 

Me too!! There is just nothing better. I even make my own calls. Google "MKW Trumpets" and you will see lots of pictures of calls I have built. I haven't built any in over a year since moving into the new house. I need to get out there and straighten up the shop so I can get back to it.
Here's a sample...

 

you don't need an RTT! just get a normal tent. way less expensive and you don't have to worry about raccoons tickling your nuts while youre hanging in the air above them!

 

Hahaha too far for me. I don't usually like to travel for fishing.

 

Hammocks are cheap...

 

hmmmm that's a sweet looking call you made there! id be interested in hearing the sound that comes out. do you mainly hunt WMA's or do you know people with land up in murrells/Conway/Georgetown?

 

Here's another...

 

I hunt 99% WMAs. Occasionally, I'll get an invite to some private land, but not very often.
