The lake is as low as I have ever seen it. I saw that someone marked a big tree peeking out of the water smack in the middle of the channel in the little river SC side right after the first hard right turn from the main lake. the tops of a lot of the old trees that had the tops cut off them are starting to make their way to the surface. I have been catching a few fish every time out but nothing to brag about. I did have one around 5 pounds with no tail fins on it, pretty beat up, last week on a shakey head. I have caught a few schooling in random places, caught a few deep off ledges, a few shallow in coves, and on shallow points, and also on deep points. How is that for a solid pattern? Can't seem to figure out a pattern in this HOT water.
