Lake Jocassee is a man made reservoir located the northwest region of South Carolina. Known for its crazy clear water, Lake Jocassee is a fairly large lake, averaging around 7500 acres and having a depth as deep as 300 feet. This lake is one that should be on any anglers bucket list. The reason being the challenge and reward. Lake Jocassee is exceptionally deep in most parts and incredibly clear. This makes the bass fishing a little more tricky according to certain anglers. According to Jeff Samsel, a writer for the "Game and Fish Magazine", "Anglers must learn to find and fish structure they cannot see from the surface and often must turn to lighter lines, deeper deliveries and smaller offerings than they are accustomed to throwing." This lake is not your average run of the mill lake where bass are right where you would expect them to be. Don't let this fool you though. According to local anglers who have mastered Jocassee, almost every fish that is caught, is usually a monster.
Lake Jocassee is not only known for it's advanced bass fishing, but also for the insane trout fishery. Due to the many tributaries flowing into the reservoir, the presence of big trout is abundant in the lake. VERY abundant.
Lake Jocassee has even been known to hold striper in its crystal clear depths, giving this large mass of water a mysterious aura surrounding it. This lake is definately a lake that is home to once in a lifetime opportunities. We are happy to announce we will begin trips down to Lake Jocassee in the following months.
