Santee bound!

Heading to the lake in the morning at 5 AM. Guy's trip for catfishing all next week.

Ky,
I can sense the energy!
Hope it is a great bonding week for you and your buds with a few huge fish caught for good measure.
Safe travels!!

 

[Ky Grady]

Thanks Lee. 5 of us going with 2 boats. A little friendly competition thrown in for good measure. Been getting together in the fall for 10 years or so.

 

[Keeldad]

Looks good John. Have fun.

Side question:

What kind of mileage do you get towing? That's the 6.7 isn't it?

 

[Ky Grady]

10-12

6.7 with 4.10 gears.

Enjoying life!!!

Hey Ky, I was headed west out of Columbia Sunday, saw a really nice ford dually towing a sharp grady on east side....keep the catfish pics coming

 

[Ky Grady]

Yep, that was me.

Tough day on the pond today, but a nice glassy ride in this afternoon.

 

[magicalbill]

I'm pretty sure that's freshwater; I can tell by the foam dissipation in the wake.

I thought Santee was on the coast?

Pretty large body of water in any case...Glad your having a good trip!

 

[Parthery]

It's about 70 miles from Santee to the coast.

Pretty lake...I've crossed it on 95 more than once.

 

[Ky Grady]

Correct, it's freshwater. I can be on the coast in about 50 minutes from here.

 

[Ky Grady]

A little breezy on the lake today, white caps here and there, but fish in the box.

 

[Ky Grady]

Best fish of the trip! 60#

 

[leeccoll]

Hey Ky,
What do you do with them after photo ops?
Not sure if they are good eating or not??

 

[Ky Grady]

We let the big one go. Filets for the smaller ones. As long as you remove any red meat, they are good eaters. Not as good as the Walleye we catch on Lake Erie, but still good.

 

[Fishtales]

Nice fish! Looks like a very good day.

Do you fish catfish tournament's out of your boat?

Do you fish catfish tournament's out of your boat?

I haven't fished any tournaments out of this boat, but I did out of my last boat.
