LAKE HARTWELL IS FULL, CLEAR, 80S


Bass fishing is good. The lower lake fish are shallow to mid depth and are starting to school in the creek mouths, as smaller pods of bait are starting to form. Catch these fish on a Zoom pearl white flukes worked fast over brush early. Then go to a deep running crank bait like the Strike King 6XD in chartreuse herring. When the bite slows, switch to a drop shot finesse worm in Morning Dawn Red, a green pumpkin craw jig. Also use the Fish Head spin in albino color for numbers on spotted bass. Focus on bridge pilings or points on the side the drops the sharpest for this bite. In the creeks try a green popping frog next to shore line cover in backs of pockets that offer a little deeper water and a good concentration bait. The Bass Fishing Lake Hartwell book is for sale with lots of locations and patterns. We have GPS waypoint available. ken@southernfishing.com for a sample.
