LAKE RUSSELL IS FULL, CLEAR & LOW 50’S
Bass fishing is fair and the cold weather shocked the bass some. But expect them to rebound with a warming trend. The biggest factor will be to check the feeding tables on this page before you head out. Fish the upper Savannah River and all the wood with jigs and finesse worms. Back off the banks and use those deep diving Fat Free shad crank baits with a steady retrieve. Number eight and nine Shad Raps, Rapala DT10's and Rapala DT16's also will work. Use a 1/2 ounce Fish Head Spin with a Super Fluke attached to catch the deep water fish. If the sun is out, bounce a DT7 Flat off of the rocks and rip rap. Wait about 45 minutes after the sun hits the rock before fishing it.
