Conditions : Lake Thurmond: Bass: Tournament angler Josh Rockefeller reports that in January patterns will depend on weather conditions, but there should be a big group of fish in the creek ditches that can be caught on blade baits. There should also be a group of deeper fish out on the main lake that can be caught on underspins fished over humps and around bait.

Striper and hybrids: William Sasser Guide Service (706-589-5468) reports that in January fish should be caught in the creeks on shallow down-lines, free-lines and planer boards pulled over relatively shallow water.

Crappie: William Sasser Guide Service reports that in January fish should still be ganged up around mid-depth brush piles and submerged timber in the backs. Crappie will eat minnows or jigs.

Catfish: Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that January can also be a very good month for catching big catfish on Lake Thurmond, but the drastic cold snaps and general swings in temperature can also make fishing very inconsistent. Some days they may feed heavily, and then they may not feed for the next day or two. In general anchoring on deep structure is the most consistent way to catch large blue and flathead catfish this month. Gizzard shad and white perch are hard to beat for the bigger fish.
