Jocassee Water Temp: 58-60. I'm Catching a mixed bag right now up at Jocassee. Rainbows, Browns and a few bass to mix it up. I'm finding most of my fish from the surface down 55 feet. Spoons, apex and Live bait all are catching
Lake Hartwell has really turned on. This last weekends little cool snap slowed them a tad, but today it is close to 80 and it should warm the water right back. I Hammerd the Crappie on Sat. along with catching a handfull of Hybrids to boot. Most of the Slabs Came off Brush along the shore but I did slow troll a pile of them in 5-12 foot of water in the backs of Creeks on small jigs. All last week the water temp was up to 70. This morning it was 65-67. I would like to see it in the 70's. The Bank Bite has kicked into gear. I love my sleep, but to have the best odds at big numbers of Striper and Hybrid, I would have to say we should get started by 5 am if not earlier. Once the sun comes up the fish kinda scatter a bit. Still catchable but the pace has to be slowed. All last week I caught fish throughout the whole day. The Earlier or the later in the day the better. One Highlight of last weeks fishing was close to a 20 lb Striper on my 8 pound rod and a #4 Gold Aberdeen hook. That fish even got my on my toes. I think everyone on the whole boat was shaking. I had to turn on my big engine and chase the fish at 6 mph to catch up the 150 yards of line it tore off. Matter of fact I had to fire up the big boats engine 3 times last week on big fish... Catching all 3. All were 14 lbs and bigger!
