LAKE HARTWELL IS DOWN .71 FEET, CLEAR, 50S


Bass fishing is slow. Drop shot rigs are still a favorite along with jigging spoons. This should have changed some by this weekend as the rains returns. This weather will trigger a shad die off. Crank baits and jigs are all excellent choices during the cold winter months. Fish the Ito Vision 110 jerk bait and do not over fish the bait. Use slow jerks and pause the baits with the cold water conditions all winter. Use a DT10 Rapala in shad color in the clearer water and a hot mustard color in the slightly stained colored water. The key during the colder winter months is to change baits often when the fishing gets slow. Color choices will also be very important.
