LAKE HARTWELL IS DOWN 8.2 FEET, CLEAR, 50’S


Bass fishing is slow. Warmer days are in store for this weekend and highs might even reach the 60 degree mark. Cast the #7 Shad Rap Shad in an olive green color. The newest technique for bass fishing is the Spybait. This is a light line and slow presentation technique and can load the bait when properly fished. The most common rigs are a Carolina rig and Shakey Head worms and Spot Stickers. It is still a deep bites. Deep water cranking after the sun comes up will rule and catching the larger bass will require using the Lowrance Down Scan technology and the sonar. Also, our primary forage consists of crawfish, bluegills and perch, not shad. That keeps the bass relating to the bottom around deep weed edges and scattered weed patches lying off the drop offs. They’re tightly schooled in small areas. For that reason, it’s critical to use electronics to look for balls of bait and bass hanging close to these deep weed patches. Typically, you will find the fish on corners of turns instead of the tips of them. And those same areas will be productive year after year.
