LAKE HARTWELL IS DOWN 2.6 FEET & LOW 50’S

Bass fishing is fair. The bass are feeding on bait in just about all the major creek arms. No bait do not stay around. This bite is especially good under low light conditions, so it is very important to be in the right places early in the day. As the day wears on target the shade of boat docks or move up the lake and fish the stained water. The shallow diving crank baits like a Lucky Craft D 7 Slim Shad or a Lucky Craft Flat Mini CB are good choices in the off colored water that you will find in the backs of the major creek arms. Further down lake, change over to the jerk baits like a Lucky Craft Pointer 78XD or a Staysee 90. Once the sun gets up focus on boat docks with a Buckeye Lures Flat Top Finesse Jig rigged with a Zoom Creepy Crawler or a Net Boy Baits Screwball Jig Head rigged with a Zoom Trick Worm. Try to skip these baits under the docks in the shady areas, and watch your line on the initial fall. If a bass is there, it will usually bite on the first cast you make under the dock.
