Black bass: BYA Fishings Eric Enlow of Union reports that in July most of the fish will be in deeper water off points and humps, and soft plastics, flutter spoons, or big crankbaits will be the best way to catch them. In late June the bite was excellent, but as the month goes on the fish may get more finicky and finesse tactics may become important. In July there can still be a topwater bite in the shallows early or at night. Overall, the fishing is usually better when there is current.Catfish: Captain William Attaway (803-924-0857) reports that in July numbers of fish will be caught free-line drifting over deep water, while bigger fish can be caught anchoring cut bait on humps. This is a better month for catching lots of fish than big ones.
