Bass are active on top water in the mornings and evenings. Schooling concentrated around shiners on the edges of flooded brush. Matching the hatch and fishing ambush points are key.

Fish are moving into pre-summer pattern but are still on points and humps. The 90 boat field as a whole, struggled. There are still fish chasing herring, but it's hit and miss and I think the warm up has finally done enough to start moving the fish off. I caught fish on a crankbait, a fluke, and a spook, in that order.

Points and patience. Lots of twitching and pausing. Lots of follows. Stick with it, and they’ll eat. Water has cooled a little bit, morning bite is crucial to jump on them, then patiently work on upgrades.

Goose creek Reservoir is on fire out deep. If you use side scan to find bluegill beds you will find bass. The bass are keying on the bluegill beds and using a dropshot is a great way to catch them. Set up the dropshot with a foot leader and slowly work it over the beds. Happy fishing!!!

The summer heat has really beat up on the shallow bass in Buffalo Lake - the only pattern I found was fishing deep water in the shade. I chased the shade around the bank all day and caught good numbers.

Fishing the Lowcountry Kayak Anglers tournament - finished 4th fishing almost exclusively a big worm. Flipping a Zoom Craw Worm up into standing timber and sunken trees. No topwater bite, no Chatterbait bite, no action on finesse - had to go with a tried and true summer pattern.

Lil guy but always a great time fishing on Lake Rabon even with the crazy heat we are having in SC this summer.
