Solo trip today from noon til 5.
Fished the river from Keowee town ramp to the Jocassee dam.
It started raining when I splashed the boat so I hung around the ramp til the rain decided to leave. No bites near the ramp.
Headed north and caught a mag spot that measured 19” at my first stop where crow creek enters the river. JT 95 was the ticket.
Continued up the river to the island in front of High Falls ramp and caught 6 there. One on a shad rap in a tree top. All others on a hulastick in the deal color. All these fish were in the 13-15” range. They had shad pinned to a wind blown bank.
Continued above rt 11 and caught my second biggest fish a plump 17” spot on the hulastick on a long tapered point near deep water.
Went further up the river and caught a 15” spot on the hula stick off a shady dock near a rocky point.
They were pulling the water hard up to Jocassee so I came back down and hit another dock near Keowee town and bagged another 15” spot on the hulastick.
Water temp below 11 was 64 degrees. Above was 58 ish.
Clear skies slight breeze.
What didn’t work was jerkbait and lobbing big swimbaits over downed trees.
