LAKE HARTWELL IS FULL, CLEAR, 80’S

Bass fishing is fair. High daytime temperatures are here and the fishing has been a challenge up and down the lake. Some of the small spots are l roaming the banks early in the morning and late in the evening. The larger bass, both spots and largemouth have moved to the channel ledges on the main lake. These fish can be found by using the Lowrance Down Scan technology. Use the Rapala DT10 in the shad and green tiger colors. Cast Parallel to these ledges and use a slow to moderate retrieve once you achieve the ten foot depth. The Spy Baits are taking some fish but use light fluorocarbon line. Must have a Carolina Rig on ten pound test Sufix Siege line and a 1/4 to 3/8 ounce weight. The leader needs to be 18 to 20 inches long. Tie on a 4/0 or 5/0 wide gap VMC Hook and add a Zoom green pumpkin finesse worm. This will work well on a 6 1/2 foot or 7 foot medium heavy rod and a spinning reel. Bites will be subtle and sometimes on a little added weight it is all you will feel. Locate the ledges and fish this Carolina rig really slow after the sun comes up over the tree tops. A four inch Fat Albert Grub can work on a light lead head jig. Pearl and Black Silver Flake are both good choices in the grubs.

Now is a great time to ride the lake and scan the points, humps and ledges with the Lowrance Structure Scan and Down Scan technology. Now anglers and spend less time searching and more time catching once this technology unlock the lakes secret.
