I am fishing Lake Secession Sc in October and i am looking for some advice on how to fish this lake since I have never been there.

well i live in greenwood sc and i just fished there last month,and it was pretty tuff,i came in 2nd with almost 10 pound,and my buddy won it,but that was august and not oct. it all depends on weather and water temp and what you like 2 fish of course,i will tell u it is a big fish lake and its nothing 2 see a 20 pound sack in a normal tourney

Thanks SCBassboy for your response.What type of water can I expect,clear,muddy,stained? Is Secession a deep lake or more of just a river?I have fished Russel before so can I expect the same type of water qualities.

yeah its kinda like the rocky river on russel because it does have standing timber,but it depends on how much rain we have in the next few weeks,but my guess is that it will be pretty clear,exspecially down the lake,are you pre fishing? if so when?

No work schedule doesn't give me any prefishing time. I saw an artical that stated it is believed the the next state record bass would most likely come out of Secession.I have not been able to find out any other information on this lake,so I have resorted to the internet.Would you have any tips on fishing this lake,I am a big fan of shaky head fishing or carolina rig fishing,but I have not had much luck fishing russell with these rigs.

well yeah, ill im you my phone number and put you on some good stuff for then,trust me,

OK thanks! So your earlier response said you are from Greenwood,hows the fishing there? The last time I was there I had a pretty good limit with several three pounders and one around six lbs.but that was about 5 months ago. I live 3 minutes from the Lake Murrary [censored],so most of my fishing is done there. Fishing here as been realitvely slow but has shown some good signs of picking up.

wow,thats great, i am thinking about fish a open tourn next sat on murray,maybe we can help each other than,but havent fished greenwood in a few months,but yeah it was on fire this past spring.do u know there was a 32 pound sack caught on gwood in march.i had a few great days then,but i have herd that the fishing starting 2 get better from the summer heat

Whats up Jason? How did you make out wed,did you locate any of those spots and did they produce fish for you?

yes i did,caught a few chunks,i am on a pretty good pattern 2 catch 10 to 12 pounds pretty easy,just need too find a kicker or 2 after that, i am fishing alone tom,my partner bailed on me,but im going 2 go and try and swing for the fences. good luck tom on secession lake,this cold front should open there mouths a bit.let me know how you make out

So how did you make out on Murrary? Our day on Secession was ok except for the starter going out on my buddies boat at blast off.We only had his trolling motor to use. So we trolled down the bank to the first point you told me about picking up two fish on the way down and two on the way back to the boat ramp.My partner lost one around six lbs and another one around three lbs.and I lost one around three lbs.Your call on bait and color was dead on! We came in sixth place and moved up in the year end point to 7th place over all with one tournament to go, which will be on Greenwood in November.Our total lbs for this tournament was 5.96 lbs. 15.65 won Scession by Ashely and Ashely.

i never did make it 2 murray,wife got sick,had 2 babysit,well i am glad i helped some,i wish yall would of got those good ones in,yall might of cashed a check,what yall catchem on,i have a club tourney on g-wood on the 15th,i'll let you know how i do
