I was out weekend before last, targeted flats next to channel drops between beech creek and the marina trolling right off the bottom with cut bait on Santee rigs in 30-40 feet of water. Picked up only a few after trolling and drifting all morning into the early afternoon, not much size to them, 4 pounds was about the biggest I'd say. Went to try and fish a good shallow spot I know of next to a big hole and anchored up for a while but after the fourth or fifth pontoon boat pulled in right on top of me and kids started jumping off I packed it in and headed to the house.

Haven't had a chance to get back out since, my best guess right now would be that the big cats are back on the flats near the channel during the day, or will be with the rain coming in especially if there's good current, and up in the creeks at night. Really wanted to get back out last week with all the rain and the lake up and drawing down but had company to deal with.
