Clarks Hill water levels are still very high at 329.95 (full pool is 330.00). Morning surface water temperatures are around 82 degrees. The hybrid and striped bass bite has changed on Clarks Hill, basically the fish have gotten little. Thats because fish are spreading out and moving all over the lake, and the best remaining bite for a concentration of fish is before daylight in about 20 feet of water on main channel points. 90% of those are smaller hybrids. The best black bass fishing continues to be offshore on Clarks Hill, with high water levels there are some good fish being caught on a frog around the banks. But an incredible number of fish are offshore on brush piles, around bridge pilings, and just following bait balls. They are also starting to school. For inactive fish throw at them enough they will usually eat, although they are showing a preference for something like a flutter spoon versus a minnow-type bait on a jighead. Although some of the schooling activity is random in open water, some of the best schooling action has been around bridges. Its also more consistent in the morning, and fish are taking a Gunfish.
