South Carolina Fishing Reports

Freshwater

Lake Murray

Striped Bass: Fair to Excellent. For keeper-sized striper the fishing is slow right now, but for sheer numbers of fish it is excellent. Fishermen willing to put in the time could still land a monster. This time of year striper will take either herring or large shiners drifted and trolled from the surface down to 35 feet. Continue to look for birds to locate striper. Also consider bucktails and Ice Flies. Largemouth Bass: Slow. Fish slowly using jigs and spinnerbaits in 12 to 20 feet of water and around points. Crappie: Very good. The crappie bite is really starting to heat up and fishermen are taking nice catches of crappie. Fish minnows and jigs around brushpiles in 8 to 15 feet of water. Catfish: Good, using worms or cut bait on the bottom. Bream: Good, using crickets and worms.
