Fishing Report (Updated 11.11.2009)

Catfish:  Good.  Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that the Santee style drift bite over deep water has not turned on yet in Lake Monticello.  However, anchoring over ledges holding baitfish and catfish and fishing with cut bait continues to be effective.  Catches of fish in the 20s and 30s are fairly common and 5-20 pound fish are feeding very well.  Depth is not very important right now but be sure that there are baitfish before setting up.  Remember, patience is key.  To read more about catching trophy catfish on Lake Monticello with Captain Chris Simpson visit: http://www.scfishingreport.com/Pages/sc_message_boards/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=206&t=2868.
