[ In Reports ]SC Fishing Trends - 11/2/2009 - Jocassee, Keowee, HartwellStriped and Hybrid Bass: Good to very good. Captain Bill Plumley reports that his boat has been going after striped and hybrid bass which remain in the bigger water from the mid-lake down to the dam. He is fishing in around 75 feet of water down lining herring. He has also heard about good schooling action for smaller fish up the Seneca in the Martin’s Creek and Coneross area. Captain Steve Pietrykowski confirms that there is strong schooling action for small to medium sized hybrids and striper up the Seneca arm. These fish are chasing small threadfin shad and so it is important to cast to them with small artificial baits.
