LAKE HARTWELL IS DOWN 5 FEET & LOW 50’S

Bass fishing is good. A lot of numbers of good size bass are being caught every week. Up in the rivers, anglers are beating the banks and points with spinner baits and crank baits with good success. Down lake anglers are using jigging spoons in deep water to catch their limit. The slow periods still seem to be during the high noon time until about 3:00 p.m. During these slow times, switch to a Carolina rig or pick apart the deeper water docks. Wood cover will still be the key areas to fish this week. Whether you fish the banks or hit the points, try to find all the forms of wood you can and fish it. Start off with those spinner baits and crank baits then follow it up with a jig or worm. Good baits to use this week include RS Shad Raps, DT10's, four inch finesse worms and flukes.
