It's been a while

[Nick Arevalo]

It's been a while since I last posted. Lol. I kind of forgot that this forum existed. Here are a few fish from the Santee Lakes recently The bass are beginning to move up shallow. There's lots of small males feeding up near the shoreline. I think I've caught 17 or 18 in the past couple of trips. Missed a lot more, too.

Great to see a fish report from you Nick. Hope all is going well and thanks for sharing. Look forward to seeing more
posts from you. Tight lines always.

Thanks for the report. Were the shad spawning yet?

Thanks for the post the only fish I’ve caught there has been Trout.
We’re you using micro jigs or?

Awesome report thanks Nick!

Nick,
Speaking of a while....Have not fished there much...but do you like lake 2 or 5 best?
I just remember catching more bass years ago in those lakes.

Not yet. I haven't seen them up on the bank at all in the morning. Shad have been flicking on the surface of lake 5 since like late January.

Generally, I prefer lake 5 over lake 2. For whatever reason, I have never really done too well on lake 2. It really depends on the season, though. Each lake can be better or worse depending on the time of the year.
