LAKE HARTWELL IS 2.1 FEET BELOW FULL POOL. THE MAIN LAKE IS CLEAR AND 48.9 DEGREES, THE BACKS OF CREEKS ARE SLIGHTLY STAINED AND 47 DEGREES

Bass fishing is fair. We have been focusing in the mouths of the creeks and the timber lines on and around main lake features such as points and humps. Many of the fish are still fairly deep. We have been catching the timber fish on a weedless 1/2 ounce Fish Head Spin in pearl white and albino colors trailed with a matching super fluke Jr. Some fish have started to move into the deeper main lake pockets and ditches in 25 to 28 feet with the recent warm weather. The old reliable shad rap has started to come into play in some of the creek pockets also. The FLW Tour is coming to Hartwell the second week of March. Look for some good weights if this warming trend continues. 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.
