Our weekly fishing reports are provided by: http://www.scfishingreport.com!
Lake Murray water level is still very high at 357, and main lake murray water temperatures are around 86.

Lake Murray Fishing for Striped Bass: Fair to good. Fish in 60 to 80 feet of water with down rods and live bait in the lower lake, and at night target the towers. There is some free lining action and occasional topwater schooling. Now is the time to experiment with lead core lines and downriggers. 

Lake Murray Fishing for Largemouth Bass: Fair. Very early in the morning fish topwater lures like Sammies, buzzbaits, or 9 inch floating worms. When the sun comes up drop deeper and fish jig and pig combinations around rocks in 12 to 25 feet of water, or drop shot points with 8 to 10 pound test line in 25 to 35 feet. 

Lake Murray Fishing for Bluegill and Shellcracker: Very good. Frequent mayfly hatches have brought the bream shallow; fish in 4 to 5 feet with crickets or poppers. 

Lake Murray Fishing for Catfish: Good. Catfish have moved out to deeper water; fish cut bait and nightcrawlers in 8 to 20 feet.
