get a good topo map..this is the key to finding spots.. when the water is hot -like now- any point with currant flow would be awesome.. look for a creek channel bumping up against a point or a mid lake hump..old road beds with currant flow.. think deep 12-15 would be alright..if your in weeds -not to many weeds grow that deep- a carolina rig or a deep diving crank would be the ticket.. the key with the crank is wackin bottom.. if your not hittin bottom get a deeper diving crankbait.. zooker

I normally like to fish 10-12'. I like to use shaky head worms and hula grubs on jig heads. Put the boat in 6-8' and cast out over the break. Drag your lure in as slow as possible and stop when you hit the weedline for a while (20-60+ seconds). I have found that slow is good when fishing deep. Also when it is hot I throw a 10 foot diving crank over deep water off breaks to catch suspending fish. Crank it as slow as possible to keep it at the right depth.

Try looking for drop=off's. If you can troll then do so. If you can't use some JIGS or DEEP water cranks

don't go too deep or you'll find that there's nothing there due to lack of oxygen. I don't know as far as deep points on your lake but in Lake Murray there's points that get to 300+ feet deep which is of course way too deep..

Thanks all for the tips ... 10 - 15ft of water is what i have been thinking i am just very un familiar with deeper water fishin and get unconfident and impatient. I am really wanting to be able to find better quality.

I fish a lot of what I consider to be deep water for my area. Bare in mind to me deep water is 30 feet. I look for deep water flats near drop offs or near
shallow. This seems to be good secure feeding water for quality Bass. At any time in this type of water situation fish could be on or near the bottom but, will in the course of the day suspend higher or even come to the surface to feed. I am prepared with many combinations. Heddon sonics and drop shot rigs for bottom. Lipless crank baits and also poppers when you see surface activity. Now I'm not Bill Dance but 50 years of fishing has taught me well. I hope that you can relate to your water from this. Best of Luck -Reel Cool 2 |
