LAKE HARTWELL IS 1.19 FEET OVER FULL, CLEAR, 80’S


Bass fishing is fair. Main lake points remain a favorite this week with a few more fish than usual moving up in search of food. Use the Rapala X Raps but only early in the morning until 8:30 or 9:00 a.m. Then switch to a Rapala DT6, followed by the Rapala DT10. As the sun continues to rise, search deeper in the water column with a Carolina rig or a Texas rigged Zoom June bug Trick worm. Fish the sharp channel ledges especially just before and after the bridges. Crank baits, jigs and Texas rigs can work but be patient during the middle of the day. Bass will position themselves under the rocks as the sun beams down. Use Sufix Siege clear ten or twelve pound test line for the best results. Line move is usually the only sign of a strike as the bass will move to deeper water after taking the bait. Up lake, work all parts of a dock to see where they are holding. With Lowrance side scan machines, you can see and count the bass under the docks all the way to the bank.
