Welcome to Lake Murray. It’s the middle of August and its the hottest week of the year. Fish are hanging in the deep end, deeper than usual. Several baits have been working, live red and nightcrawlers continue to do well. go to the middle of the lake and let it hit the borrow. Ou can also finesse the plastics this week. The purple robo worm with the drop shot as well s the margarita and the senko. The crappie bite and bluegill are still good but again you gotta go deep. A few big cats were caught this week too. Good luck out there.
