Fishing at Clarks Hill-Lake Thurmond

Fishing Reports
Mike McClelland brought in the biggest bag Sunday, which earned him the victory at the Pride of Georgia Bass Tournament on the lake with a four-day total of 70 pounds, 7 ounces.
Fishing on the lake is excellent right now. You can fish for anything you want. Catfish are biting really good. You can catch them on cut herring, worms or liver using rod & reel or jugs. I have had excellent reports of fishing deep drops off main channels and people using jugs. The catfish will be bedding soon and riprap and rocky areas are where you should also target.
Hybrids, stripers, and black bass are ready to go on a tear. The blue back herring are now beginning their spawn. The fish will be there feeding heavily. Pencil poppers, zara spooks, flukes and a variety of other lures will take these fish. Shellcrackers have just started to bed and now is the best time of the year to limit out on these great tasting fish. Please don’t catch over your limit. The fines are per fish over the limit. I have seen some very expensive fines.
Most of the crappie have a done their spawn; however, there are still a lot of them on the beds. After the spawn, they will be hungry and aggressive. On sunny days look for shade, under docks and on the shady side of brush piles.
The fish are biting and now is the time to go.

Remember, with 1200 miles of shoreline at the lake, catching fish is a lot like finding the perfect water front property to buy - you gotta know where to go.
