Fishing Report (Updated 10.24.2009) Bream: Very good. The Tackle Shop reports that some very large shellcracker continue to be caught in the Congaree on worms. This bite usually continues until it gets very cold. Look in the Congaree Creek area. Striped Bass: Good to very good. The Tackle Shop (803-739-0063) reports that striped bass have mainly moved out of the Saluda River and into the Congaree. Some very nice fish in the 28-36 inch range have been weighed in at the store recently and both live bait and plugs are working. Live herring is available at the Tackle Shop on Meeting Street in West Columbia. Catfish: Good. Below the I-77 bridge large blue catfish are being caught on the bottom using live and cut herring. Smallmouth bass: Good. The smallmouth bass bite remains strong; bumping Texas rigged lizards on the bottom in the current is working, especially in the Congaree between the Gervais Street Bridge and the Blossom Street Bridge. Pulling smaller swimbaits through the current will also catch fish. Some smallmouth have also been caught in the Saluda. DHEC fish advisories: Largemouth bass and bluegill should only be eaten once a week, and bowfin (mudfish) should only be consumed once a month.
