Crappie: Captain Steve English (843-729-4044) reports that most of the black crappie on Santee will have spawned around shallow cover by the end of the first couple of weeks in April, and after that they will set up on shallow to mid-depth brush. Shad imitation lures have also been producing a few fish. Finished 40th out of 218 boats. South Carolina Department of Natural Resources - Rembert C. Dennis Building He is only finding this bite in the mid-lake. The bass fishing isnt quite as hot as it was a month ago, but there are still enough fish willing to bite to keep anglers happy! The largest Alamo Lake bass reported this week was a 4.5-lb female from the river end, although fish of up to six pounds have been caught here recently. A few 2lb redear sunfish being caught deep (10 to 20ft) on live nightcrawlers around artificial habitats. April is one of the best trout months of the year. Morning surface water temperatures are around 56 degrees. Lake Russell - Georgia Outdoor News - GON Fishing is good at Alamo again this month! Until about 7:30 or 8:00 in the morning he is catching them casting topwater lures up shallow, and then after that he is finding them pulling out 16-18 feet down over 20-30 feet. Lake Russell is managed as a conservation lake and as such the undeveloped shoreline provides a unique fishing experience in an unspoiled setting. The best areas are in the creeks around timber or bridges; main lake bridges and timber do not usually produce. Its a little unclear whether it is the very, very tail end of the herring spawn or whether bass are just still hanging around in the same places, but Guide Jerry Kotal (706-988-0860) reports that there is still a little bit of a herring spawn bite on the main lake in 3-4 feet of water. Clarity: Clear. The best pattern has been fishing 10-12 feet down over 20-foot deep brush in the creeks with minnows. They can be both deep or shallow, using rocks or wood for cover, cruising open water, or hanging out in submerged grass. Black Rock cove north to the entrance to the river has been the best place to search for the boils. Try dropshot rigged plastic worms or chatterbaits in green or watermelon. Crappie: Wendell Wilson reports that some of the bigger crappie already spawned in March, but in April several more waves of spawning fish should be found shallow around the banks. Bronzeye and popper topwater frogs are working well just before sunset. Guide Wendell Wilson (706-283-3336) is fishing a similar pattern, and in the middle of large coves off the main lake in 25-30 feet of water he is fishing around large schools of bait with drop shot rigs and jigging spoons. All too often, folks ask what's working at a certain lake, although from experience Ive learned what works today, may not work tomorrow. Lake levels don't fluctuate much more than 5 feet. The topwater bass fishing is awesome right now at Alamo Lake!
