LAKE HARTWELL IS FULL, & 62 DEGREES

Bass fishing is good and there are a lot of fish shallow lake wide. The top water bite has picked up a good bit and baits like the Zara Spook and the Pop R. are excellent baits to use. The Firetiger Shad Rap in either the jointed or suspending model will get a bite at almost every mud line you will find. A Rattlin Rap in the red crawdad is another good choice. Work the creeks and coves in the same manner and make several casts before moving on. These bass just cruise up and down right on the edge waiting for the bait fish to move to cleaner water. Out on the main lake and up in the main rivers, the midday to afternoon bite is still good while using a Carolina rig. Look for areas that contain rock and or wood. Try both rock and wood daily as the rock will hold the cooler water longer and better than wood. Use any color in the green or motor oil spectrum for best results. The Carolina rig is also working around docks and channel ledges all during the day.
