CLARKS HILL IS DOWN 3.2 FEET, LOW 50’S DEGREES & STAINED

Bass fishing is fair and the cold front that passed through slowed fishing down a bit, but warmer days will arrive soon. They aren't turning much water out of the Clarks Hill Dam, so anglers are still heading up the Savannah River towards the Russell Dam for the better current. Find the water up here has some color to it. The 1/2 to 3/4 ounce jigs seem to be the big bite bait is fair. Structure on or around the main river points and the larger or isolated rock piles in at least ten foot of water is bound to put some good fish in the boat. Finesse worms in the four and six inch size or a Shaky Head, not more than 1/4 ounce will catch you numbers of bass on the rip rap or rocky points on the main lake. Don't forget to put two teaspoons of Catch and Release in your live well before adding water. Just think for the next few week, slow and deep. It’s hard to beat a jig and a spoon in the winter but the Lowrance sonar is the key.
