— Lake Wateree is at 98.0% of full pool, and water temperatures range between about 74 and 80 degrees depending on section of the lake.  The lake was heavily stained but not muddy – at least prior to the rain starting today. In this transition period between spring and summer Lake Wateree bass are doing […]
— Lake Wylie is at 97.2% of full pool and water temperatures are in the 77-79 degree range.  There is a lot of stained water, and the rain predicted for the next few days may bring even more. While many anglers prefer to fish for shallow bass, according to FLW angler Bryan New there is […]
  — Lake Jocassee is at 98.1% of full pool, and water temperatures this morning were about 68 degrees.  They are rising into the low 70s on sunny days, but this is still far below normal for this time of year on Lake Jocassee. Trout: Good. Guide Sam Jones (864-280-9056) reports that overall the Lake […]
— Overall, Lake Hartwell is at 660.14 and water clarity is normal.  Water temperatures are in the mid-70s. It’s a transition period for bass on Lake Hartwell according to Guide Brad Fowler, and even though fish can be caught there is no “red hot” bite right now.  Fish can still be found bedding, and there […]
— Lake Monticello water temperatures are in the high 70s to low 80s. While Sunday and Monday have been cooler, last week and into Saturday it felt like summer had already arrived.  But that didn’t mean that bass had moved into a summer pattern yet on Lake Monticello, however, and in a small event last […]
— The extreme tides of last week made for some good sight fishing for redfish on the very high tides, and the fish were able to get up in short grass where fiddler crabs roam.   However, Captain Dan “Fishin’ Coach” Utley (843-368-2126) reports that while on tailing tides it was a good time to catch […]
— It’s a familiar refrain, but Captain Ron Davis, Jr. (803-513-0143) says that there is no doubt that the Edisto Island redfish population is down.  Because of that he only rates the bite as fair, but Ron also says the fish that are in the area are feeding hard.  If the population were better he […]
— As used to be typical for May in the Beaufort area, the big story right now involves the inshore cobia fishery.  However, while Bay Street Outfitters (843-524-5250) reports that although they have seen early signs of inshore cobia, right now the story isn’t about the fish they are seeing or catching.  New regulations concerning the […]
— Both Perry’s Bait Tackle (843-651-2895) in Murrells Inlet and Captain J of Fishful Thinking Guide Service (843-902-0356) concur that there just don’t seem to be good numbers of slot-sized redfish around in the Murrells Inlet area, and it’s been that way for a while now.  Fortunately, however, a lot of other species are biting […]
— Lake Keowee water levels are at 98.5% of full pool and water temperatures are generally in the mid-70s.  Clarity is normal. The “spring” bass fishing season may be winding down on Lake Keowee, but Guide Brad Fowler reports that there are still some fish on the beds.  Due to the variability in temperature across […]
— Lake Murray water levels are at 357.69 and surface temperatures have shot into the low to mid-70s – in a little over a week water temperatures jumped almost 10 degrees.  The lake has more color than usual and even in the usually very clear lower lake visibility is only a few feet. Lake Murray […]
— Lake Wylie is at 96.9% of full pool and water temperatures are in the 67-72 degree range.  In the last two weeks the lake has cleared and now visibility is pretty good for Lake Wylie at 3-4 feet. Bass fishing conditions continue to change on Lake Wylie, and in the last couple of weeks […]
— Captain Michael Bruner of Fins and Flies Charters (843-860-6536) reports that conditions have made fishing difficult at times recently, and even though temperatures have been pleasant strong winds have kept anglers in protected waters and particularly the creeks. A few weeks ago redfish were still in the remnants of their big winter schools, but […]
— Fishing continues to be pretty steady in the Little River/ North Myrtle Beach area, and Captain Patrick Smiley (843-361-7445) reports that his boat has had some nice catches in the past week or two.  Overall the best fishing has come on the low to rising tide, but fish can certainly be caught at all […]
— Clarks Hill water levels are at 329.61 and water temperatures have risen into the mid-70s. It’s finally gotten to be “that time” of year for bass fishing on Clarks Hill – the period when everyone wants to be on the water and national tournament series want to come to the lake.  Buckeye Lures in Augusta […]
— Overall, Lake Hartwell is at 660.44 and water temperatures shot from the low 60s into the high 60s/ low 70s over the past week and a half. In the four-day ABA Ray Scott Championship a couple of weeks ago on Lake Hartwell there were a good number of 20-pound sacks caught.  The winning angler […]
— Lake Wateree is at 97.3% of full pool, and water temperatures are in the 70-degree range.  Water conditions are pretty normal for Lake Wateree with a decent amount of stain everywhere and water muddy up the lake. It’s been a strange spring on Lake Wateree, and many of the anglers who got on a […]
— Santee Cooper water levels are at 75.5 in Lake Marion (1.3 feet below full pool) and 75.2 feet in Lake Moultrie (.3 feet below full pool).  Water temperatures are in the low to mid-60s and for the most part clarity is back to normal. In the April 9 CATT tournament on Santee Cooper Steve […]
— Lake Murray water levels are at 357.67, and water temperatures are in the low-60s – and overnight at the dam surface temperatures are dropping into the 50s.  Captain Brad Taylor says that water temperatures won’t rise with all this wind, and today on the water even with sun and decent air temperatures anglers needed a […]
— Lake Greenwood water levels are at 438.9 and water temperatures are in the low- to mid-60s.  Clarity is normal. When water temperatures approached the 70s in mid-March it looked like the majority of the fish would have spawned well before the end of April, but then Mother Nature said “Not so fast.”  Several weeks […]
— Water temperatures shot up in March and it looked like the majority of the spawn would take place sooner rather than later, but after three or four weeks of holding and even back-sliding temperatures it now looks like the April full moon will bring up a massive wave of spawning fish on Lake Monticello.  […]
  — Lake Wateree is at 97.4% of full pool, and water temperatures are in the 63-65 degree range.  Water conditions are pretty normal for Lake Wateree with a decent amount of stain and water pretty dirty way up the lake. The guys who are on the big fish on Lake Wateree continue to be […]
— Lake Wylie is at 97.4% of full pool and water temperatures are in the low 60s.  Clarity is pretty normal. Despite a very hot March water temperatures have essentially been in a holding pattern over the last few weeks on Lake Wylie, and as a result FLW angler Bryan New says that it’s a […]
— Clarks Hill water levels are at 330.03 and water temperatures average in the low 60s. In the last few years it has not been uncommon for the best fishing of the year on Clarks Hill to be almost starting to wind down by mid-April, but that isn’t a concern this year!  Buckeye Lures in Augusta […]
