Stripers are moving back from the river systems for their annual spawn. Diversion canal should be good drift fishing live herring and shad. Lots of fish in the creeks on Lake Moultrie. Look for those fish from 35-45 ft on top of the hills and in the deeper creeks. Live herring and shad will work the best.

Crappie.

The big black crappie females are already headed back to brush in 10-25 of water. Cast 1/16 oz jigs with curly and slider tails to the brush. Live minnows will work good also. Spider rigging the creeks with jigs and minnows will also produce good fish.

Bream and shellcracker.

Reports of shellcracker and bream in 5-8 ft of water already. Fish are scattered but should see the first shellcracker on the beds this month. Red worms and wrigglers work the best.

Catfish

The cats are in the trees. Anchor up in 3-6 ft of water and spread your baits all along the tree lines. Shad and herring working good. Plenty of 5-10 lb fish along with some trophy class cats shallow. Thicker the trees the better the fishing I believe. Hit slots for 10-15 minutes until you find the fish. Plenty of cats being caught drifting in 15-25 ft on the lake. Shad herring amd mullet working good.

Bass

Bass are also on the move.
Look for them staging in good numbers in The 6-10 ditches and creeks. Crank baits and spinner baits working good.
Some bass already showing up around cypress trees. Big white spinner baits work good this time year. Hit every tree.
