LAKE HARTWELL IS DOWN 3.7 FEET & HIGH 40’S

Bass fishing is good. The water temperatures should not get any colder this month unless winter comes back for a week. Bass are staging now and secondary points near deeper water seem to be the favorite this week among anglers. A few early morning bass are being caught on spinnerbaits around brush piles and wood and one or two around the bigger docks. Throw shallow and work it slow all the way back to the deeper water. Most of the fish being taken are biting slow moving crank baits while fishing small cuts and the sides of smaller secondary points. Good baits for this are the Storm deep wart and of course the RS Shad raps. The key here is not to over work the bait. A slow retrieve with an occasional pause is what is getting the most bites. Try several colors and baits before leaving an area. Good baits for locating and catching the shallow water bass are the Rattle Hot Craw Tube and the Zoom Magnum trick worm Rig both of these baits on a Texas rig with heavy line and flip right into heavy cover and let it sit. Several casts might be necessary to get a bite. Work your way from the mouth to the back of the smaller creeks and then back out again.
