Fishing Report (Updated 2.4.2010)

Lake Keowee remains at 99 % of full pool.

Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Slow to fair.  Captain Chris “Fishboy” Schuber (864-888-7974) reports that the bite is a little slow.  He is fishing watermelon seed colored shakey head worms and Carolina rigged worms in 15-45 feet of water near main lake points and picking up a few fish.  Look for bait on your graph and then be sure to present your lure slowly.  In last weekend’s Fish the Fall Team Trail event Guide Brad Fowler (864-934-5813) and his partner found fish from 6 feet to 80 feet deep, with most fish coming deep around structure such as the deep side of humps, creek channel bends or other depth changes.   Three of the fish they weighed in came deep on a drop shot rig, which Brad likes to shake very slowly.  A fast presentation is unlikely to get bit on Keowee in the winter.
