Fish Report for 8-9-2020
South Lake Fishing Report
8-9-2020
Parchers Resort Gang
The lake level is holding steady just a few feet below full pool. The surface temps are up to the low 60’s which has driven some of the fish a bit deeper during the middle of the day. Early in the day the fish are up shallow but beyond 10am try a little deeper between 25ft and 35ft of depth. We recommend anchoring closer to shore and casting out into deeper water. It’s definitely a slower bite right now with quality over quantity. People aren’t catching huge numbers but your chances of sticking a pig are pretty good and will only get better over the next week.
The launch ramp is open most days for private boaters but parking can be an issue and they have periodically closed the ramp to do paving work. There is no schedule or any way of knowing so its just a blind gamble if you try to launch.
