Anderson, SC (PRWEB) March 08, 2012

Georgias Johnson leads co-anglers.

Variety was the name of the game as the worlds best bass-fishing pros opened the Walmart FLW Tour Major on Lake Hartwell presented by Folgers. Anglers threw a number of different baits and different presentations were plentiful as the full field of pros from all across the United States, Canada, Spain and Japan began their four-day battle for a top cash award of up to $ 125,000.

The methods may have varied, but the results were similar less than 3 pounds separated first place from 10th. In the end, Kettle Brand Chips Dan Morehead of Paducah, Ky., crossed the stage Thursday with a five-bass limit weighing 20 pounds, 14 ounces to lead day one of the event. Morehead now holds a slim 2-ounce lead over Matthew Stefan of Park Ridge, Ill., who caught five bass weighing 20-12.

I think these fish are in transition right now, said Morehead, who has career winnings of more than $ 1.2 million. Theyre moving and theyre wanting to go shallow. You always hear the same old story of If we were here next week it would be unbelievable.

Morehead said he fished an area that hadnt seen much fishing pressure and is trying to take advantage of the lakes blueback herring as they migrate back into pockets in the mornings and out again as the sun gets higher. The bass follow the bait and suspend to ambush them as they move. Morehead said he threw a number of baits, including the original Alabama Rig, although the rig was not his primary weapon.

I think tomorrow if we get some wind and clouds and rain it could be a real fun day, Morehead said.

Morehead said the first day of practice the wind blew hard and muddied the water and he had success with a crankbait, however the same conditions havent been present since. Morehead said he would welcome the chance for a crankbait bite again.

I could do no wrong today, Morehead said. Well, except lose that one 5-pounder. Catching 20 pounds is obviously the icing on the cake, but I was really in the groove today. I was making the right decisions and going with the flow and fishing stuff I hadnt even practiced on.

Stefans day was equally productive, but he went about catching his bass in different ways.

It was a long, slow run, Stefan said. I think I had nine or 10 bites. The smallest fish I had was probably 15 inches. It was just one of those things where you have to sit on them and grind on them.

Stefan said he was catching fish in various depths of deep from 20 to 50 feet. He added when the sun came out the bite would die and his bite depended on cloud cover. He targeted pre-spawn bass with a mix of techniques, but remained tight-lipped about how he was fishing his five or six spots, although he did indicate success with the jig.

I caught them all day, but I didnt have a limit until noon, Stefan said. I really feel like Im going with the home-run swing. It wouldnt surprise me if I blanked, and it wouldnt surprise me if I came in with a similar weight tomorrow.

Rounding out the top 10 pros after day one on Lake Hartwell are:

????3rd:????National Guard pro Brent Ehrler, Redlands, Calif., five bass, 20-4

????4th:????Blake Nick, Adger, Ala., five bass, 19-11

South Carolina Crappie Fishing

]]>

Crappies are part of the sunshine family and they are known by several different names such as the speckled perch, goggleye and paper mouth. South Carolina is very popular for its crappie fishing and it continues to grow as word spreads about the wonderful opportunities this state has to offer. In fact, just about all the lakes, rivers and ponds in this state have crappie in them, which is why so many anglers are drawn to South Carolina to fish for this species.

Crappies are divided into two categories which are called Black Crappie and White Crappie. The black crappie is, of course, darker in color than the white crappie but this is not the only difference. It has seven or eight dorsal spines and several spots on its sides. When fishing in deep water and large impoundments you will most likely find the black crappie because this is the type of environment they prefer.

White crappies are lighter in color and have only six dorsal spines. They also have eight or nine vertical bands on both of its sides instead of spots and the white crappie prefer living in more quite remote places than the black crappie.

The average weight for a crappie is one pound but it is possible to catch crappie weighing up to five pounds.

Lakes in South Carolina

South Carolina has many lakes where you can go crappie fishing with great success. If you are not familiar with this state and all it has to offer, then the list of lakes listed below will help to give you an idea of some of the options that are available to you.

Lake Marion

Lake Murray

Hartwell Lake

Lake Wylie

Lake Moultrie

Lake Greenwood

Lake Jocassee

Wateree Lake

Lake Moultrie

Lake Keowee

These are just a few of the options that you have when you go crappie fishing in

South Carolina. You will find that there are many more areas where the crappie fishing is excellent. Talk to local bait shop owners and local fishermen to see where they would recommend you go.

If you are visiting friends or family in South Carolina they may be able to direct you to some remote ponds, creeks or lakes that have the potential for some great crappie fishing. These are places that you would probably never find on your own.

How to Catch Crappie

There are several ways to catch crappie as they are a fairly easy species to reel in. The most commonly used methods for crappie fishing are drifting, casting, trolling and still-fishing. Either of these techniques should render you some excellent results. Springtime fishing is the best time to go South Carolina crappie fishing because it is when the crappie are getting ready for spawning season. They will be migrating into the shallow, warm water to begin spawning.

In the summer the crappie will move out to deeper water during the middle of the day where the water is cooler and then back to the shallows during the night time hours. In the fall you need to fish in the shallow to moderately deep water during the late evening to early morning hours. However, they do still go out to the deeper water during the day when the sun is at its brightest.

North Carolina’s golf communities are equal to or better than what’s available in any other state.

If you’re a golfing buff, the ideal location to retire or resettle in North Carolina is its golf paradise of Pinehurst. Living in the Pinewild Country Club community, you are within striking distance of Aberdeen and Southern Pines. It is home to 48 holes of first-class golf. It has 2 complete courses, 1 prepared by Gene Hamm and the other by the legendary Gary Player, a nine-hole par three course, and 3 holes just to practice inside the Pinewild Golf Academy. Enjoy the pool, tennis courts, social occasions such as the Fall Fest and Jazz Fest, and the clubhouse dining room and snack bar.

The most recent Zagat’s Golf Guide pronounced the Tiger’s Eye course at this Carolina golf club community of Ocean Ridge Plantation one of North Carolina’s best. The community consists of over 3,000 acres and about twenty eight hundred houses, the bulk of them single family homes. There are five clubhouses with cafeterias, and convention centers and over 50 clubs and organizations including book clubs, card games and bible study groups, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor swimming, gym presenting yoga, Pilates, and aerobics classes.

Up the hills is the Trillium North Carolina Golf Club community, which presents an 18-hole course created by Morris Hatalsky. It has lessons, clinics, and a pro-shop. Relish a round of “Garden Golf,” (hike, chip, putt course), hike, play tennis outdoors or indoors, go to the sauna, massage studio or gym. There are weekly clinics covering topics from watercolor painting to gardening and fly-fishing. You can fish and boat on Lake Glenville’s fifteen hundred acres or relish a snifter at dusk and hors d’oeuvres cruise, the epicurean delights of the clubhouse, or grilled cooking. Residents of this property have complementary facilities at Chinquapin, located about ten miles away.

Just south of Wilmington is Winding River Plantation. It blends affordable golf, great scenery, and living options. This North Carolina golf club’s entry costs are six thousand dollars, and have all the conveniences you’d think would cost far more. You’ll have games of bridge, tennis courts and walking and biking trails, exercise classes, pools, clubhouse with casual dining, restricted beach club with a footpath to Holden Beach, a twenty seven hole Fred Couples designed course, gymnasium, practice area, putting green and pro shop.

One more North Carolina golf club community near the coast is Cypress Landing, located in Chocowinity. From the two hundred and twenty slip marina on the Pamlico River, you can access the Pamlico Sound and Atlantic Ocean. Bill Love created the community’s 18 hole golf course, putting green, pro-shop, practice area and driving range. Amenities include an 18,000 square foot fitness center, grill style café, watering hole, swimming pool, library, lounge and patio. You also have craft lessons, card games and book and garden clubs.

According to the “Zagat’s 2007-2008 guide to America’s Top Golf Courses,” the 5 best golf courses in North Carolina ar Pinehurst No. 2, Pinehurst No. 8, Pine Needles Lodge, Tiger’s Eye, and Oyster Bay. If you’re a golf buff, North Carolina golf communities have some of the most excellent spots for you.

European

Gilt-head bream

The gilt-head bream is found in the Mediterranean Sea and the eastern coastal regions of the North Atlantic Ocean. It grows to about 60 cm long. Found in seagrass beds and sandy bottoms as well as in the surf zone commonly to depths of about 30 m, but adults may occur to 150 m depth. A sedentary fish, either solitary or in small aggregations. In spring, they often occur in brackish water coastal lagoons and estuaries. Mainly carnivorous, accessorily herbivorous. Feed on shellfish, including mussels and oysters.

The gilt-head bream is generally considered the best-tasting of the breams and has given the whole family of Sparidae its name. In Portugal the fish is referred to as “Golden Bream,” “Orata,” or “Dourada,” and is widely available as a fresh fish meal in local restaurants along the Algarve. It is called the “dorada” in neighboring Spain, where it is also highly prized. The same happens in Italy, where the fish is called “orata”. n Turkey the fish is referred to as “ipura” or “upra”. In Greece and Cyprus as “tsipora” (). In Croatia as “orada”, “lovrata” or “komara”. In Malta it is called “awrata”.

Common pandora

The common pandora, is found in the Atlantic Ocean from Scandinavia to Cape Verde, and in the Mediterranean and the North Sea. A typical specimen measures 10-30cm, but it can reach as much as 50cm in length. It is omnivorous, but mainly feeds on smaller fish and benthic invertebrates.

It is a popular game and food fish in Mediterranean countries, with delicate white flesh.

Common dentex

The common dentex is found in the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea and the Eastern Atlantic Ocean from the British Isles to Mauretania, sometimes up to Senegal and Canary Islands. It lives in sandy or stony deeps, to 200 m, and is an active predator, feeding on other fish, mollusca and cephalopods. It is usually solitary, although younger dentex form schools and are less elusive. Adult dentex can reach a length of one metre, and weigh up to 14 kg.

Black seabream

The black seabream live in northern Europe and in the Mediterranean, usually found on the inshore shelf at depths varying from 5 to 300 m. They are usually found in schools feeding on seaweeds and invertebrates. They can reach a maximum size of 60 cm in length. They are protogynous meaning females have the ability to change to males.

North American

Scup

Scup occur primarily in the Atlantic from Massachusetts to South Carolina. They grow as large as 18 in (450 mm) and weigh 3 to 4 lb (2 kg), but they average 1/2 – 1 lb (0.5 kg).

In the Middle Atlantic Bight, scup spawn along the inner continental shelf. Their larvae end up in inshore waters, along the coast and in estuarine areas. At 2 to 3 years of age, they mature. Scup winter along the mid and outer continental shelf. When the temperature warms in the spring they migrate inshore.

They are fished by recreational fishermen and are a fine eating fish. The current IGFA all tackle record is 2.06 kilograms (4lb 9oz), caught in 1992 in Nantucket Sound, Massachusetts.

Sheephead

California sheephead

The sheepshead grows to 30 in (760 mm), but are common from 5 to 8 in. They have a very hard mouth with several rows of stubby teeth which help crush prey. Their range extends from Texas into the mid-Atlantic. During the winters, many anglers in south US states will head to the end of pier to fish for sheepshead.

As sheepshead are crustacean and bivalve feeders, favorite baits include shrimp, sand fleas (molecrabs), clams, and mussels. Sheepshead have a knack for stealing bait, so a very small hook is necessary. Locating sheepshead in a boat is not very difficult: look for rocky bottoms or places with obstruction, or try around the pilings of a bridge or pier. The average size of a sheepshead is in the 3-4 pound range, but some can be caught that are in the 10-15lb range.

Southern oceans

Southern black bream

The southern black bream (also known as the black bream, southern bream and blue-nosed bream) is a species of marine and freshwater fish of the porgy family, Sparidae. It is a deep-bodied fish, occasionally confused with other similar species that occur within its range, but is generally distinguished from these species by a lack of yellow ventral and anal fins. Southern black bream are endemic to Australia, inhabiting the southern coast from Shark Bay in Western Australia to Mallacoota, Victoria, as well as Tasmania.

The species is primarily an inhabitant of estuaries and coastal lakes, rarely entering the ocean, as it cannot complete its life cycle in a fully marine environment. During the breeding season, the species is known to penetrate into the upper reaches of rivers to spawn, causing an influx of juveniles in the estuaries a few months later. Southern black bream are opportunistic predators, consuming a wide range of crustaceans, molluscs, polychaetes and fish.

The southern black bream is a major target for recreational fishermen due to its high quality flesh and its sporting qualities. The development of lure fishing for bream has adding to its attraction.

Southern black bream have long been a favourite target for anglers who seek out the species for both its fighting qualities and high quality flesh. Bream are also popular due to their accessibility, with fish commonly caught from harbour and estuary banks, piers and rock walls, therefore eliminating the need for a boat in most regions. Research in Western Australia has shown that anglers take more bream than commercial fishermen, with a 1979 study indicating that at least 232 tonnes were taken, more than double that of the commercial harvest at its peak, although with the advent of catch and release fishing this figure has dropped.

Bream are commonly caught around structures within an estuary, including fallen branches, piers, rock walls, bridge abutments and other man made structures as well as on mud and sand banks where shellfish and crustaceans dwell. Although bream are opportunistic feeders, they can often be very difficult to catch in areas subject to high fishing pressure. Light fishing lines and sinkers are used to avoid spooking the fish and, as with all fishing, live bait produces the best results. Various crustaceans such as nippers, prawns and crabs are commonly used alongside various species of beach and tube worm. Frozen and cut bait such as prawns, mussels, cockles and fish pieces are also effective. Rigs are usually kept simple and light, with running ball or bean sinkers used on a light line from two up to four kilograms in breaking strength tied to a size 6 – 1 hook. In fast flowing waters, heavier sinkers may be needed to keep the bait in the target area long enough to be noticed by a fish. Burley is often introduced into the water, with chopped pilchards or chicken pellets soaked in fish oil popular amongst anglers. In recent years, the use of lures and flies on southern black bream has been successfully developed, with the species known to attack both hard bodied minnow and spinnerbait type lures, as well as soft plastic lures and saltwater flies.

The southern black bream is protected by size and bag limits in all the states it inhabits, which anglers must be aware of or face fines. In Western Australia the size limit is 25 cm with only 2 fish over 40 cm allowed to be taken from the Swan or Canning Rivers, while the bag limit varies throughout the state with West Coast allowing 4 per angler, Gascoyne 8 per angler, and Southern and Northern 20 per angler. In South Australia the daily bag limit is 10 per person, with a minimum legal size of 28 cm, which is the same limit as Victoria.

Surf bream

Surf bream are found off the coast of Australia from Townsville in North Queensland south to the Gippsland Lakes region in eastern Victoria.

Yellowfin seabream

Yellowfin seabream are found along in shallow coastal waters from the Persian Gulf to the coast of India to the Philippines, and north to Japan, south to Australia. Eats mollusks, crustaceans, echinoderms and worms. Is a popular angling fish.

Australasian snapper

The Australasian snapper or squirefish is a species of porgie widely found in coastal waters of New Zealand and southern Australia. Although it is almost universally known in these countries as snapper it does not belong to the Lutjanidae family. It is highly prized as an eating fish.

The fish is found on all coasts of New Zealand, especially in the north. In Australia it is found along the south coast and as far north as Coral Bay in the west, and Cape Manifold in Queensland in the east. It is also found on the coast of Tasmania but in lesser numbers. The fish spawn in inshore waters and live in rocky areas and reefs of up to 200 m deep. They school, and will migrate between reefs. Larger fish are known to enter estuaries and harbours, for example Port Phillip Bay has a renowned seasonal snapper run.

Growth rates are quite slow, a 10 kg adult is probably 20 years old, and a fish at the maximum size of 1.3 m long and 20 kg is probably 50 years old. Sexual maturity is reached at about 30 cm long and a small percentage of the males will turn into females at puberty. Anglers are advised not to take immature fish, so as not to reduce breeding stock.

They are a popular recreational fish. The current IGFA all tackle record is 17.20 kilograms (38lb), caught in 1992 near Mottiti Island, New Zealand. The legal size in Australia varies by state, from 35 cm and a bag limit of 5 fish per person in Queensland to 41 cm in Western Australia. Minimum sizes are supposed to be designed to allow these fish to participate in spawning runs at least once before they become available to the fishery, however given the slow growth rates of this species, there is need to consider area closures and/or further increasing the minimum sizes in each state to reduce the chances of growth overfishing of the various populations of snapper throughout its range. This may be important with recent developments in technology such as GPS.

Sheepshead porgy

Pinfish inhabit mostly subtropical shallow coastal waters of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States and Mexico. It is a small fish, growing only to about 4.5 in (11.4 cm). Pinfish rarely school, but can be found near each other, especially along structure which supports barnacles and mollusks. They eat shrimp, fish eggs, insect larvae, polychaete worms and amphipods, and plant matter. Pinfish are not generally sought as sport or food in the United States due to their small size and numerous small bones. They are used as live bait by anglers targeting red drum, speckled sea trout and flounder. They may be caught on small hooks along piers and jetties, but often are considered a nuisance bait stealer.
