Fished hard on lake Moultrie today and didn’t get a single bite. Looked at some prime time bedding areas and didn’t see any activity. Water was muddy and still pretty cold.
After checking the shallows I moved off a little and tried some trees in 4 to 6 feet of water before finally picking up the carolina rig and moving a little deeper off some creek channels looking for staging fish.
Nothing, nada, zero. Tried spinner baits, texas rigged worms and lizards, lipless crank baits, and carolina rigs.
Talked to several people doing tournament prefishing and no one is catching them. I was surrounded by boats all day and did not see one fish landed. If we get a little more warm weather they should definitely move up soon…
You must have been in the wrong spot. I fished Moultrie all day on Sat and the action was pretty fast. Ended up with 5 and lost a couple more. Cruising fish everywhere in the shallows and caught one that was locked onto a bed. Probably had 15+ pounds by days end. They were all bucks though.

I talked to 10 other boats and no one in my area caught them. One “pro” had been fishing for two days with only one bite. We put in at blacks and fished around S&S and near the power plant. I have heard some small fish were biting in the hatchery, is that where you were? I was really looking for staging fishing and spawning females…
We were in and around the Angels area. We only saw a couple of cruising females. We only caught males but they were all in the 2 to 4 pound class. We found one backwater cove where they just kept coming in. We probably caught 4 out of that one hole that was no bigger than a swimming pool.
If you were near the plant you were probably in the same area we were in. Maybe we just had the magic touch.
