Lake Marion is fishing super tough. Seems the bite is getting better each week. I was able to catch a number of fish, but most were non keeper bass. Shakey head is the staple when the bite is tough. Also caught a few fish on the fluke and super spook when a fish would bust on top. Fishing around bait is key to getting bit. Fished most of the day above I-95 around trees. Spent the last 2 hours fishing Taw Caw creek. Caught the fish below doing the same thing on (10/15/22). It’s a great time to get on the lake and catch numbers of fish!

Brush Piles
With the days getting shorter and the nights getting cooler, the bite on Santee Cooper is just heating up! The fish are starting to make there way to the back of the pockets and creeks and the best places to run into them is fishing secondary points and flats in large creeks with brush piles, man made fish attractors, with fast reaction baits and then following up with a slower presentation like a tokyo rig or a drop shot. You may have to cover a lot of water to find them, but once you stumble across the fish you'll have an absolute blast!

Stumps
Flipping trees, and stumps with a texas rigged creature bait was most effective for me. Switching weight sizes throughout the day as I rotated areas also helped.

I caught them cranking shallow on laydowns. If you find fallin deep trees next to cypress trees you can do very well. Fish are on the deep trees if you can find them.

My partner and I caught fish on deep trees but a lot of smaller ones. Bigger ones were spread out and hard to find. If you fish Marion I recommend fishing the river or swamp. The trees are deep and next to deep water.
