Here on Lake Murray, you're starting to see some fish move to the backs of pockets. However the offshore bite is still very good. We had success using sexy dog junior and caffeine shad Over cane piles

Blueback Herring
The Topwater bite on Lake Murray is as hot as the dog days of Summer right now! The fish are really grouped up well on main lake points and schooling on Blueback Herring. The key is throw a topwater walking bait or a weightless fluke all day long and cover as many spots as you can and keep your eyes peeled for bass visually schooling on the surface and you will be rewarded with some great fish during these hot August days!

Crawfish
The bass are everywhere up the river on brush piles and in the back back of creeks eating craws. Main lake fishing is very tough and surprisingly unproductive. Fishing a Frog and flipping heavy texas rigs into shallow cover and brush seem to the best ways to catch a hefty bag.

The water temps were 70-73 depending on the depth and stain from the lake partially turning over. It made fishing extremely tough due to scattering the bass and bait fish all over. I found most of my fish over 10-15 feet of water with grass just below the surface, but that bite died on day two due the grass dying off rapidly. Day two came from the sides of main lake points anywhere from 15-25 feet of water with a drop shot.
