Lake Jocassee
 

Here's the "wall" left after they dynamited the granite away to build the dam....little over 30' here, but almost 400' deep out in front of the dam ... beautiful clear water and white sand beaches...this is a REALLY neat place...Duke Power nuclear facility...makes payin' the power bill a little easier
;) ;D ...

I have caught a BUNCH of small mouths right there, about 25 years ago on flyrod!!!!!

Re: Lake Jocassee
 

Yep ... I used to snorkle this area a lot back when...got an underwater pic of a smallie came right up to me...if I'd had a handfull of nightcrawlers, coulda fed him...looked like about 7 lbs or so... ;D ...

Re: Lake Jocassee
 

I love fishin for smallmouth. Saltwater is my first love, but smallmouth fishin is a blast. Thinkin back to an old thread here, pound for pound a river smallie would be tough to beat.

Re: Lake Jocassee
 

Brother Willy... I used to DIVE from much higher than these guys were jumpin' off this same place ... it was LOTS of fun, but I'm pretty sure those days are over...


...but it'll be my pure pleasure to take you there just as soon as you get your crusty ol' a$$ down here ;) ;D ...

Re: Lake Jocassee
 

Have caught many trout and a few bigmouth in that lake over the years as well.

Thank's for stirring up my memory REEL.

Is that little store still there on the right as you drive up from Hwy 11? It was right in a curve to the left.
