LAKE HARTWELL IS 2.27 FEET ABOVE FULL POOL. THE MAIN LAKE IS CLEAR AND 50.8 DEGREES, THE BACKS OF CREEKS ARE SLIGHTLY TO HARD STAINED AND 48.6 DEGREES

Bass fishing is fair and the fish are in the creeks consistently. We are still seeing some sporadic schooling activity on the main lake. We have been catching these schooling fish on a 1/2 ounce Fish Head Spin in pearl white and albino colors trailed with a matching Zoom Super Fluke Jr as well as a herring colored jerk bait. The Fish Head Swarm has been very effective on main lake points and creek ditches as well. Also, keep a drop shot or a Capt. Mack spoon handy to drop vertically on fish you see on your graph. The timber bite is starting to pick up as well and Rick has been catching those fish on a Sworming Hornet Stinger Jig. Come fish with Rick on Lake Hartwell and learn his top secret approaches and strategies that will be used by the pros in next year's Bass Master Classic. The Classic is coming to Hartwell in February 2015! Contact Jimbo on Lanier at 770 542 7764 to book a trip with Rick.
