Pontoon boats seem to be a biggie with the guides on that lake. Is
that the same way down Moultrie/Marion?

I don't know, I've never been out with a guide. A couple of my
friends have been striper fishing with guides on Murray. They said
the guides used big center consoles. That's what I see out there the
most, but there are probably some that use pontoons as well.

Ah, an old NCR guy. They offered me a position in SC after I finished my
degree and was working in Calif for NCR. Decided I liked CA better and
changed jobs. Would have taken a job at Rancho Bernardo.

Not exactly on topic, but two of the best transceivers I've ever owned
were made by a subsidiary of NCR - Signal One. My Dad had one to
evaluate for the ARRL and ended up buying it - a CX-7 and he gave it
to me when he bought a CX-11.

I miss that radio. :)

Here's some interesting history of the Signal One radios. I drooled over
them when they were first available but didn't have the resources at that
time.

Yep - I was down on Saturday and saw that the lake had come up a bit. I
hope they get my riprap installed before it is full again :-)

Lake Murray here in SC is finally back up to near full pool. It's
been down for over two years as they reinforced the dam. I was out
last Saturday, and we've got our lake back!


I like lake Murray, We use to live in Lexington and used that marina by
the dam to launch from. It was great because it was so close to the
house.

We were there when they droped the lake to kill the hydrilla that was
choking the shallows, did that work out ?

Capt Jack R..


Nope. They finally introduced sterile Grass Carp to the lake a couple
of years ago. That, coupled with the low levels forced by dam repair,
has knocked it back. We'll see how much is left out there this summer
when it is usually at its worst.

Jake's Landing is the marina by the dam. It's closest to our house,
and is where we keep our boat.


I beleive Jake's Landing was it. We had a house on Old Cherokee road in
Lexington when I was with NCR there. I really miss the pace of Columbia as
compaired to Atlanta. Columbia ia a nice laid back place and has nice

A good move I am sure, After AT&T took them over and the resulting
meltdown I wonder if there was anything left there. It is really to bad
because it was a good company and SC is a nice laid back place to live.

Still doing teck work, just not for them.

Cheers!

Wow... small world. I used to live just off Old Cherokee Rd. We
liked the west end of the lake, so we kept the boat at Southshore
Marina on Hwy 378, down at the double bridges going toward the traffic
circle.

Now we live in the Corley Mill Rd. area, so Jake's is closer.

And I work with a bunch of ex-NCR people. We hired them as our
business expanded over the last few years, and they were looking for
work.

I would trade Atlanta for Columbia anyday, But times change as you well
know. I figured sooner or later I was going to be one of those ex-NCR
people looking for work there. Thus I landed a job in Atlanta and moved on.

Besides Murry, you got the Saluda there and that is a nice river to
float. We ran it once from just behind the dam to Radio lane. Very nice
and peacefull. Of course you have to be wary that they might increase
the water out of the dam at any time. It was strange to be in-town and
have such a relaxing river to run. There are a few places you had to be
careful due to some shallow rocky areas. But heck the only thing we saw
before we spotted the I26 bridge at Radio lane was a water intake for
some plant. All the rest was wooded or farm land.

Some buddies of mine once hired a striper guide on Murray. There was
four of us and we each caught 2 fish they all seemed to be around 10-15
lbs. Basically I have never fished for striper and so we were there to
learn how to do it. Our guide said if thats what you are paying for
thats what I give ya. Thus he showed us how to troll and use lead core
line. Plus top water techniques, and how to figues out where they are
schooling..

NCR made the first personal rescue beacons for the fliers in Viet Nam.
Worked great, but were signal only and the VC would trigger them to set up
ambushes. So they were changed to 2 way radios later.

Is that the river that runs down to Moultrie and the Santee Basin?

I think so. there are some rapids near the Columbia Zoo, then it runs
through the city. i beleive from there it goies to to Moultrie but I
have never been on that.
