Fish are stacking up in small schools on shallow stumps. Fast cranking a lipless has been great for numbers and big fish lately.

Dad and I crushed them on a jerkbait in brush and ditches. If you utilize your electronics you can find fish everywhere. The fish at that time were spend out in groups but when we found them we would catch 2 or 3. I recommend using side-scan to find holes or brush followed by livescoping with a jerkbait. Good luck!!!

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.

Got to fish Lake Marion with a friend on New Year’s Day. The rain we got the last few weeks has brought the lake levels up a good bit. However, the bite is still a little tough. We planned on a crankbait trip, but it didn’t happen. We caught our fish around deep and shallow brushpiles. Was able to pick one fish off a cypress tree on the blade. We had the opportunity for a bigger bag, but a few came off before we got them to the boat. I’m so ready for the next trip!
