BrushPile Fishing - Whitey Outlaw on Lake Marion, SC

[@dvrmte]

I fished that general area back in the early 1990s. I put in at Low Falls. Back then the grass mats were much worse and made navigation difficult. I fished "around" the grass and only caught a few. Then I saw some locals run their boat onto the grass mats. They left their motor running and used a rake similar to the one in the video to make holes to fish through. Then they beat the grass all around them. After that, they shut off the motor and started fishing through the holes they made. They would catch five or six and they'd stop biting. Then they would start the motor and begin beating the grass for a few minutes and then start back fishing. They'd fish till they stopped biting and repeat. We pulled up in the grass after they left and beat the grass with a boat paddle and fished through the holes they made. We wore them out. It also works for shellcrackers and bream in general. The locals say the running motor and beating of the grass dislodged freshwater shrimp from the grass and triggered a feeding frenzy.

I appreciate these videos. Lake Marion can be very tough. Never fished the grass like this but will be making a trip soon to try it. Just wish I wouldve done it sooner.

I really need to focus more on crappies this season. Subscribed... hopefully you will enjoy the content on my channel enough to do the same.
