Ken tells us that the fish are doing real good on Jocassee and
he invites you to stop by JOCASSEE OUTDOOR CENTER located
at 516 Jocassee Lake Road in Salem and get the latest, up to the
minute area fishing report. Some really big trout, almost record
size smallmouth and some big bass were caught last month. Trout
will be moving deeper this month because of the warming water
and you will need a downrigger and the right tackle to attract
them to your hook. Try trolling with Bad Creek lures and Lucky
Jaks from 60 to 80 feet deep over tree tops. Largemouth are being
caught slowly retrieving small green plastic worms Carolina rigged,
jigging spoons and small crankbaits from the rocky banks. Smallmouth
Bass can be caught casting brown hair jigs on rocky points and
rocky banks.
Our customers have been catching some really nice crappie on Lake
Keowee using doll-flies and mini-jigs or live minnows around brush
reports PAT’S CASH AND CARRY located one mile below
Salem on Hwy 130. Some decent catches of large mouth and spotted
bass have also been caught in recent tournaments on Keowee. Several
of our customers did their homework and had some luck in bagging
a spring turkey, and as far as we can tell, it was an excellent
season for everyone. Do not forget our good hot dogs, bird dogs,
taco salads and ice cream.
We do have displayed some great pictures of our turkey hunting
customers who did real well in the spring season. Fishing is good
to great here in the tri lake area. While in the area, be sure
and stop by the store here at DURHAM’S CONVENIENCE MART
