LAKE HARTWELL IS DOWN 8.5 FEET, CLEAR, 70’S

Most areas of the main lake are clear with some of the backs of the creek arms have stained water to them. The water temperatures are in the high 70's. The bite continues to be tough out there. We have had to work deeper water from 20 feet all the way out to 45ft. We are fishing humps, major creek arm points, and main lake points and the key with all of these areas is that they have to have some really deep water next to them specially a ledge which has been a key component. We have had some blow ups on top water but not a lot of action and we have had to really work at this bite. Don't forget to have a weightless fluke on deck if it is calm you can get them to eat it and if it is windy throw the fluke on a weighted hook you can get that extra bite doing so. We have had to really finesse these fish so we have worked the shakey head with a finesse worm and a drop shot with small baits on them to match the bait that we are seeing. Be patient with the drop shot fish we have had a lot of fish follow the bait and not eat it if you get this same reaction first change baits and if that doesn't work change your leader length our best has been 12to 18 inches. We have had the deep jig bite do ok this should really pick up as the month goes on keep the boat in 45 feet of water and throw up to about 25 feet and slowly work it back to the boat. This is not a numbers deal but you will see the quality of your fish go up move out deeper if you don't seem to be getting any bites we have caught fish as deep as 35 to 45 feet doing this. The key is to be patient and keep moving if we do not get bit within 10 to 15 minutes we are gone and with this warm weather and water the fish are going to stay deep. Remember the lake is still low and there are a lot of objects sticking up out of the water and not marked so be safe out there and we hope to see you on the water.
