Black Bass: Tournament angler Andy Wicker of Pomaria reports that usually in September anglers are thinking mostly about fishing for suspended fish around offshore structure and cane piles, and now there is also action around deeper grass. You need to fish weedless lures around the grass like flukes or worms, while for suspended fish topwater lures and flukes are usually the top choices. With some cooling more fish will also feed around the banks and there should be a good buzzbait bite.Striped bass: Captain Brad Taylor (803-331-1354) reports that by the end of August fish had started to transition out of the lower pool, and in September fish will typically be found at the mouths of creeks. It is a very good month to look out for schooling activity. Fish can also be caught on relatively shallow down-lines.Crappie: Captain Brad Taylor reports that typically, in early September, fish will be grouped up at the mouths of creeks or along the main river channel, and they will be holding over brush or deeper docks in large schools. Cooler temperatures later this month should make fish chase bait better, and some of the best brush fishing of the year can take place. Fish may also move shallower this month as temperatures drop, but they will usually be deeper down the lake than up the rivers.Catfish: Captain William Attaway (803-924-0857) reports that in September fish should start to relate more to the creek and river channels where they can be caught on cut bait. At least to start out the month the night bite should still be better than the daytime bite for channel catfish.
