  • Lake Hartwell Fishing Report - GA

    LAKE HARTWELL IS FULL, CLEAR, 80 S


    Bass fishing has been fair. With water temperatures hanging right around the 70 degree mark with cooler water up in the main rivers, bass fishing is good for the most part. The bass cannot decide if fall is here or is it still summer. The fishing is still on the slow side. With the shorter days the water temperature has stopped rising. The bass have started to move out of the deep water and a few are chasing bait into the coves and creeks all over the lake. Use a 3/8 ounce Strike King spinnerbait with all white skirts, tie it on and head to the lake. Several other baits that will be necessary to pack will be an assortment of crank baits and pig n jigs and let's not forget those lipless baits. You might start off the morning with top water bait like buzz bait but if you can't get a hook up or rise put it down and pick up the spinnerbait in either white and chartreuse. Use a single no. 5 Colorado blade in silver. Throw the bait at isolated cover only that you might find near the bank. Each piece of cover will require more than one cast. These bass just aren't hitting the first time around in most cases. Make sure the area you fish is close to the channel or deeper water. These bass are roaming from deep to shallow to feed and are not concentrated in any one area. Covering a lot of water will be the key to a productive day. The suspending Shad Rap is still producing bass and will continue to do so for at least month or so. Best when used on or around points and small cuts on the sides of points. Work the lipless cranks in these areas as well to determine which is working best. Jig any and all stumps or wood as well as any remaining docks with a 3/8 ounce or lighter jig in black and blue or black and brown combination.
