LAKE
CLARK HILL IS DOWN 4.5 FEET, 88 DEGREES AND CLEAR BY TIM WHITE - RAPALA PRO
STAFF
Bass fishing has remained good this past week, despite the water
temperatures climbing into the high 80's. Some bass are still being
caught on DT10's and Number 7 Shad Raps as long as you are making
long casts and getting your baits down to that 10 foot range. The
key factor on crank baits this time of the year is the wind. You
only need to fish these baits on wind blown, deep rocky points
and the wind doesn't come through every day. Unstable air is expected
for this week and this should stir up the Bass. Afternoon thunder
storms are in the forecast and some will linger on into the late
evening hours. The river humps with hydrilla on them are also producing
quality Bass while using a DT14 or DT16 and a Carolina rig, according
to Tom Hall of N. Augusta. Also, don't overlook the multitude of
docks around the Tradewinds Marina area. Fish the corners of the
docks with a half ounce Terminator Football Jig in Melon Pumpkin
or a Coon Tail color. Use at least 14 pound test Suffix line or
braid while fishing the jigs.
Stripers are biting live bait or down lines about 30 feet down,
while fishing in about 50 feet of water. Most of the guides are
fishing down near the dam and have their limits in just a couple
of hours. Six to eight pound stripes are about the average weight
this time of the year.
