Bass: Tournament angler Andy Wicker of Pomaria reports that in July there can be a good shallow buzzbait bite early, and when bream are spawning they will also attract bass to shallow water particularly in the morning. You often have to fish deep brush during the day and at night, and its an unusual year when there is a good, suspended bite in the heat of summer. However, the rivers do offer another option where shallow cover can be fishable even during the day.Striped bass: Captain Brad Taylor (803-331-1354) reports that in July most fish should be in deeper water in the lower pool and at least in sight of the dam. This month fish will be caught on down-lined live herring as deep as 60 or more feet.Crappie: Captain Brad Taylor and tournament angler Tommy Slice report that fish will continue to hold around brush in July, but in different parts of the lake you will need to fish different depths. In the upper lake you can fish shallower, while in the lower lake deeper brush closer to the main body of water will hold the fish. Jigs can work throughout the day in the rivers, but in the lower lake at least in the heat of the day the fish typically want minnows.Catfish: Captain William Attaway (803-924-0857) reports that both because of feeding patterns and boat traffic the night bite will be much better during July. Dip baits and a variety of cut bait will catch fish in shallow water.
