70 degrees
water 57 upper 61 lower
Got out today on a nice March afternoon. The wind was whipping around but still very fishable.
We are wandering around the lake and after a stop near the ramp we headed up towards the Jocassee Dam.
As we idled under the route 11 bridge the cooler water was felt on our faces and it seemed a lot cooler up there than down lake and it was confirmed as the water temp was about 5 degrees colder.
But we did find one little spotted bass pulled out off a steep sided bank. The depth finder kept looking like a bunch of spaghetti under the boat and I managed to pull one out of the bunch.
Another came on a gently sloping rock bar in Cedar creek.
Both were caught on the Ned Rig, which I am new at.
What a simple small rig. Easy to fish. Easy to snag. Ha ha.
Lost a nice fish on a jerk bait.
And that was about it.
As you can see the water is quite clear and we were in the dirtiest water I could find.
I think I rigged many more times than the fish I caught.
And I thought this lake wouldn't be snaggy.
