LAKE HARTWELL IS 4.2 FEET OVER FULL, LOWER 50’S

Bass fishing is fair. Use a brown jig in clear water and a black and blue jig in any stained water. Go with a brown or green pumpkin Zoom Super Chunk Jr. on the natural color jig and a green pumpkin or black Super Chunk Jr on the black and blue jig. Shaky heads will also work on the docks and deep water structure. Rig them with trick worms, finesse worms and Senko’s. Shorter finesse worms or shortened trick worms will get more hook ups when the bite turns slow, short, and subtle. Slow down your presentations and fish a 1/8 ounce head when you can get away with it. Be sure to look for the bait and this where the Lowrance Structure Scan and Down Scan technology can cut your searching time as much as 90%. Send the left and right beams out as much as 80 feet in the creeks and coves. Carolina rigs are fair especially in the middle of the creeks on points. In the deep water, a ¾ ounce bullet weight is best. Spoons are also picking up deep bass relating to bottom and bait. A relatively subtle soft raise and lower action should perform best when fished just above the bottom or to fish elevated in the water column. Fish spoons 20 feet and deeper and stick to clear water for best results in spooning.
