@@toddsgreatoutdoors4226 Thanks!!🎣💪

@@KirkAllenOutdoorAdventures Thanks!!🎣💪🏼

@@TRNoutdoors Looking forward to seeing more videos

@@JacksonNelson-m2c I fish upper lake mainly because it’s close to home. The perch are flat feeders, just find deep flats 18-28’ and you will improve your odds of finding. If bait is present or birds are diving always stop and give it a try.

@@BoyceGoodson-y3w yes sir!!💪

@@JacksonNelson-m2c I always look for big flats at mouth of major creeks when water temp dips below 55. Always look for diving birds also they will give bait and fish locations away in winter.

Will do next time thank you for the info

@@rickyrishel8198 yes, one of the best eating fish in my opinion. We catch white bass sometimes usually in spring

Good catch hammer!

@@CH-xo8ss Thank you sir!!🎣💪

@@rickyrishel8198 SC 🎣💪🏼Clarks hill lake

@@CH-xo8ss Prime time right now!! It’s been outstanding for about 2 weeks

@@shindukess yes

@@TRNoutdoors Forgot to ask if they were generating while you were out there? Schedule says 3PM-7PM 8/24/2024 for generating and 10PM-5AM for pumping. I just want to have a productive trip and get there at the best time.

@@shindukess yes

@@TRNoutdoors we went yesterday afternoon into the evening. No one caught anything along the GA side banks by the dam. Guess we just need a boat or wait for the spawn. Kinda disappointing.

@@shindukess Maybe change tactics. 🎣

@@351cleveland8 Thanks!! Russell dam is Awesome this time of year.

@@TRNoutdoors do you ever hit Greenwood or Murray?

@@351cleveland8 No, Clark hill and lake Russell are in my backyard. I don’t have to go to far to fish.

@@TRNoutdoors gotcha 👍

@@351cleveland8 Thanks!!🎣💪

I've never caught a striper or hybrid but they are usually where bait are

@@shindukess yes definitely. There are fishing areas on Ga side and SC side at dam with walking access along shoreline. Some of the best fishing of the year is August- September when the generators are running in afternoons. Good luck 🎣💪

@@TRNoutdoors thank you. Any particular bait or depth? Live bait, lures, top, mid, bottom?

@@shindukess live bait (herring ) is best by far but I don’t use. We target mainly feeding fish on top when generators are running. Flukes, bucktails and rattle traps are some of my favorites when fish are down in water column.

@@TRNoutdoors thanks. I'm trying to get back out there with some friends maybe next weekend.

@@calloftheoutdoors8941 Thanks. We are blessed to live between Clarks hill lake and Russell lake. No shortage of slabs here. 🎣💪

@@CH-xo8ss 🎣💪Thanks!

@@rickyrishel8198 Thanks. South Carolina on Clarks hill lake in upstate SC

@@TRNoutdoors good luck from Ohio

@@rickyrishel8198 🎣💪

Yes sir! Some of the best Striper fishing around. The generation schedule is day to day but there is a number you can call and get updated schedule daily. Thanks for the like🎣👍

@@TRNoutdoors thanks much ! Stay ripping lip but stay safe !!

🎣💪Thanks!

Most of the crappie guide do.

Upstate SC it borders GA/SC along the old Savannah river. It’s several county’s but I fish mainly Abbeville, McCormick in S.C. and Elbert county in GA

Flukes. Thanks for the like🎣💪

I fish upper end of lake because it’s close to home. I usually find them at night while bow fishing, the lights make the beds easy to spot. Thanks for the like🎣💪

Great tip. I was wondering how you thinned down 70k acres of shoreline 😂

@@stevenmartin8764 lots of bow fishing at night.

Abbeville county, Thanks for the like🎣💪

Upper end

The season is far from over, it’s just getting started. Try fishing afternoons if they are generating at the dam. The fish will school right before dark if water is moving. I don’t fish much live bait but I bet if you drop some live herring down from pier at dam you will catch them!!🎣💪

@@TRNoutdoors we were using live bait and moved to the calm end when they were generating. Maybe it was a bad day? We got there at 7:30am and they started generating. 9am.

@@TRNoutdoors It's an hour+ drive for me to get to the bottom of Russell dam. If you're in the area can you let me know if they're still there?

@@shindukess by the time I do they probably will be gone. It’s daily right now till about August

You are never to old to fish!! You can always go off bank just to be on safe side. I bet the cicadas would work well. Thanks for the view🎣💪

Yes sir!! Crappie are my Absolute favorite. I have a couple videos on crappie fishing will be making more when summer gets here. The limit is 10 spots or large mouth or a mix of both not to exceed 10 on lake Russell. Thanks for watching 🎣💪

Yes, I have wore out about 3 in the last few years. They are not very durable. My bunch loves fish tacos.

I run a predator 6.5 on a long tail mud motor.

Honestly not even sure. Im thinking 1/32 but the tube jig is getting hard to find in stores. We hand make a lot of our jigs. The crappie are still biting but are moving back to deep brush as the spawn is ending

Upper end most of the time.

The boat is 36” wide and 14’ long. The platform is easy you can do with wood but this one is angle iron with a 1/2” plywood top. It’s fairly stable but you still have to be very careful when moving around. Thanks for the like!!🎣💪

Me to!!🎣💪

Thank you !! We are blessed in S.C. with some great fishing🎣💪

1969 sears Jon, 36”w 14’ long with a 6.5hp predator long tail mud motor.

We are blessed for sure but a lot of work goes into finding the beds. We just have a short window for the spawn. Good luck my friend 🎣💪

I find beds bow fishing at night and by smell. I know that sounds crazy but when they spawn somehow they produce a smell from fertilizing eggs that is very fishy. I’m usually on the upper end of lake because it’s close to home. 🎣💪

I'm trying to figure out the same thing. Are they up in creeks? Main lake pockets?

@@eric78746 bottom has more to do with it than lake location. Shallow usually but not always, sandy, gravelly, hard bottom are best.

Thank you sir!🎣💪

Thank you sir!🎣💪

Usually 3’ or less. The bottom has more to do with it than depth, hard bottoms are best with small rocks and sand.

Thank you sir!🎣💪
