Lake Hartwell Fishing Report - January 22, 2010
Up in the rivers, anglers are using some hard baits, but mostly jigs and worms. Pick apart the wood cover, especially the stumps and brush piles in seven feet of water and deeper. This is somewhat productive, but the windy days make it difficult keeping the boat in place.

Bass fishing is as cold as the water. Stick with the spoons, jigs and small worms. Look for the bass in the mouths of the main lake and main river creeks. The lower lake creeks are fair and the smaller Dark Stanley jigs in black and silver with a small Uncle Josh trailer is fair but use them slowly

Lake Hartwell Fishing Report - January 8, 2010
Bass fishing is slow and there are not many angers out there. The water is very cold and the bass are biting a little later in the day with a warm up. Stay down lake and use worms and jigs. Fish the humps and points half way to the backs of the creeks.

Lake Hartwell Striper Report as of 12-28-09
Look for the bait and fish to migrate to the larger stained creeks as the water temp gets below 50 degrees. Fishing will get technical as fish get selective and eat tiny shad in shallow water.
