SC Fishing Trends - 10/26/2009 - Jocassee, Keowee, Hartwell

• Striped and Hybrid Bass: Good to very good. Captain Steve Pietrykowski reports that there is strong schooling action for small to medium sized hybrids across much of the lake. His boat has been finding from below Oconee Point down to 18 Mile. These fish are chasing small threadfin shad and so it is important to cast to them with small artificial baits. Captain Bill Plumley reports that his boat has been going after the big striper which remain in the bigger water from the mid-lake down to the dam. He is fishing in 50-75 feet of water down lining herring and has caught fish up to 26 pounds in the last few days. He has also heard about good schooling action for smaller fish in the Martin’s Creek and Coneross area.
