LAKE HARTWELL IS DOWN 3.5 FEET & LOW 80’S
Bass fishing is fair. Smaller bass are chasing top water baits and a variety of other surface baits on the back side of the points and in the small cuts and coves. Medium to deep diving crank baits like the Rapala DT6 and Rapala DT10 crank baits in shad around the docks and between two main lake points. Use the Carolina rigs with a small Zoom lizard in green pumpkin and small Strike King jigs around the docks. The bass are still feeding on the small shad along with the bream up in the shallows. Shallow running Shad Raps around any form of structure is also working well. Use the small Zoom plastics like a Bush Hog or small lizard on the Carolina rigs. Touch the tails up with a little bit of garlic flavored Spike It also.
