Lake wateree is low right now with maintenance being performed on the dam by duke power. This has most of the docks on the lake in little to no water. With not as much shallow cover, these fish have resorted to using shallow rock and stumps off the bank for cover. The water is also very muddy with recent rains. The rapala og slim 6 flat out catches them this time of year on wateree. Pick up your favorite fitzgerald rods crankin stick, parallel the bank, and burn the bank down until you find them. When you find them, hold on!
