Fishing Report (Updated 6.21.2009) 

Lake Thurmond is at 327.     

Striped and Hybrid Bass:  Good.  Striped bass fishing is good on Lake Thurmond and good numbers and sizes of fish continue to be caught.  Several twenty plus pound fish were weighed in last week.  Good action has been reported free lining live herring, cut bait fished off points is working well, and down lines fished over humps have also been successful.  There has also been a substantial amount of schooling activity reported, but it has mainly been smaller fish.   

Largemouth bass: Slow.  Largemouth bass fishing is tough on Lake Thurmond and winning sacks in recent tournaments have averaged only 12 or 13 pounds.  First thing buzzbaits may be productive but during the day people are backing off and pulling Carolina rigs over humps and points. 

DHEC Fish Advisory: Only one meal per week of largemouth bass.
