: Lake Murray: Largemouth bass: Slow. Veteran Lake Murray tournament bass angler Captain Doug Lown reports that bass fishing has been pretty tough recently, and he only expects 15-17 pounds to be necessary to win big team tournaments right now. Fish are in a transition period between deep water and shallow water as they head to the channel edges where they will spend the summer, and the best pattern is probably to concentrate on rocky points in 10-14 feet of water with Carolina rigs and shakey head worms. Pounding the bank is not very effective, and fish are more keyed on bait schools right now. The first hour of the day throwing a buzzbait, frog or other topwaters is worth trying. Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that the channel cat bite has been good and most importantly consistent lately. Anchoring on main lake humps and points and fishing in 10 to 20 feet has been the most productive pattern for Captain Chris, with herring, shrimp and stinkbait working well. If you dont get bit in 30 minutes then move to the next spot. Lake World advises pulling up on islands and casting out a mix of nightcrawler and cut herring to catch catfish. Reported by: SCDNR |
