Warm Temps Brought Them Shallow

2.3.20

Water temp 60 degrees

A fellow KA and I launched from the Keowee Town Ramp today at noon and fished for 4 hours.

We headed to Crow Creek and found fish waiting for us in 50’ of water, but after missing 2 on drops shots and then just watching them follow our baits up and down we decided to abandon the deep water bite and head to south facing docks that were absorbing the warm sun in coves off the main channel.

The bite started quickly as the first fish came aboard and was 17” long but with big shoulders.  Then a 15 and a half inch came to the boat.  Every boat dock had fish on them. They were positioned on the back float of the docks in shallow water.

We ended up with 8 spots and 1 largemouth.  All except the first 2 were buck bass measured between 12 and 14”.

All fish were caught on a Zman Hulastickz rigged on a 1/4 oz. jig head.  

The water temp was 60 degrees in Crow.

Needless to say it was a nice day on the lake with temps in the 70’s and wind was calm turning to windy. 

Had this little guy eat a dropshot and had a huge shad still in his throat.

These are the docks we were catching them on.
