at FINLEY’S TAXIDERMY located on Belhaven Road Extension
in Belton. Remember, that first fish is a trophy for a child or
a grandchild and we will be glad to preserve it for a lifetime
of memories
Jerry at WHITE JONES HARDWARE AND SPORTING GOODS, located in Watson Village ,Pruitt’s Shopping Center and on Hwy 24 here in Anderson stated this is your headquarters in the Upstate for all hunting and fishing needs. Toward the middle of July is when everyone starts coming in to pick out their guns, buy used guns or put one on lay away for the upcoming, dove and deer season which will be approaching shortly. Everything from boots, tree stands to BB’s and sling shots are stocked here, so stop by over the 4th of July or anytime and pick out those items you need for hunting in the fall. There is always plenty of fishing tackle. Most of the fishing will be done early, late in the day or at night because of the warmer weather and the boat traffic. Late June and early July is the peak time to catch bream and shellcrackers on worms and crickets in the shallows. The bass fishermen will be using floating worms, shaky headed worms, Carolina rigged worms, and top water plugs on the points and around docks on Hartwell.
Most of the stripers
and hybrids will be caught at night down by the lower dam on live
bait of points near the river run.
A lot of my customers are coming in early and late to get worms,
crickets, minnows to go fishing in the cool part of the day or
at night reports JERRY BAIT SHOP, located at 647 North
Main Street here in Belton. We have a good supply of ZOOM worms,
trick and finesse type in stock, plenty of other fishing supplies,
live bait and fireworks for your 4th of July celebration. Just
be sure to be careful and not start any fires over the holidays.
Shellcrackers seem to be taking the red worms best, fished 6 to
8 feet, right on the bottom, but the bream like crickets fished
under a cork. We would like for our customers to bring some of
the fish they keep telling us about by the shop and let us get
a picture and hear the first hand version of how and where they
were caught. We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable 4th of
July holiday weekend.
“Have a safe July
4th.” If you are in the pursuit of that perfect boat, now
is the time to stop by STRICKLAND MARINE, located on Hwy
24 West of Anderson and Hwy 28 North of Seneca. They are running
specials on the Hurricane Deck boats, Ranger bass boats and Stratos
bass boats. The craftsmanship on these boats is excellent and
will give you many years of reliability and fishing pleasure.
Remember, getting to where the fish are is half the fun. “Good
hunt’n & fish’n”!
THE BAIT SHOP is located on Hwy. 24 at 105
Jenkins Circle about one mile south of I-85. Tim carries live
bait including shad and blue back herring. He caters to “All
Fishermen” and has large holding tanks and a huge assortment
of fishing tackle. Drive up or drive in for live bait. On Lake
Hartwell, July is a great time to catch stripers and hybrids especially
at night. Striper and hybrids can be caught down by the dam free
lining herring near the balls of bait. Also the bream fishing
should be excellent especially around the full moon ( June 18
and July18th) using crickets and worms.
If the boat, marine electronics or outboard you used last year
needs some repairs then you need to go to see Rocky at ROCKY'S
ELECTRO-PRO MARINE located at 1200 Piedmont Hwy. about half
way between Piedmont and Pelzer. He is a certified technician
with many years of experience in marine electronics installation
and service. He knows how to repair and get your trolling motors
and depth finders working properly so you can go catch some bass,
crappie, hybrids or stripers in local lakes. He offers in &
out fast quality service. Good Luck and have a safe July 4th with
the family.
