LAKE HARTWELL, IN PDF FORM, JUST LIKE IN THE MAGAZINE |
August 2010
THE BAIT SHOP is located on Hwy. 24 at 105 Jenkins Circle about one mile south of I-85. They carry live bait including shad and blue back herring. Drive up or drive in for live bait. On Lake Hartwell, August 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 in 60 to 80 foot of water. August is a great time to catch catfish on the bottom using cut bait. Also the bream fishing should be excellent especially around the full moon ( July 25 and August 24) using red worms around docks. The winners of the June big fish contest are striper- Scott Crawford 44.1 lbs., catfish- Danny Brooks 61.5 lbs. and crappie- Skip Covert 1.75 lbs.
Our customers have been catching a few bass fishing late in the
afternoon and early evening reports Jerry at JERRY BAIT SHOP,
located at 647 North Main Street here in Belton. They have a good
selection of Zoom Trick and Finesse worms that are really catching
the bass and spots deep off points and drops on Hartwell and Russell.
They also have the new licenses, which you must have in your possession
at this time. Plenty of live bait, minnows, and crickets are available.
They also have some fireworks on hand. Stop by before you go fishing
and pick up the items you and the kids will need for your trip.
WHITE JONES HARDWARE AND SPORTING GOODS tells us they still
have plenty of shelves loaded with all types of fishing tackle,
but it’s time to start thinking about getting your fall hunting
equipment in order, and purchasing or laying away those big ticket
items such as guns, tree stands, boots and clothing before it
all has to come out of one paycheck. Whether you stop by the Watson
Village Store, the Pruitt Shopping Center Store or on Hwy. 24,
you will have friendly, knowledgeable sales people to help you
get the right equipment for your outdoor fun. They have a great
selection of guns, boots, deer feeders, deer feed and seed, camo,
gun safes, ammo and hunting accessories. The end of August should
be the peak time to catch bream and shellcrackers on worms and
crickets in the shallows. Most of the fishing will be done early,
late in the day or at night because of the warm weather and the
boat traffic. 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 early in the day or
at night. Some hybrid and striper are being caught on Hartwell
at night using live bait, fished 30-45 feet deep down by the dam.
Be sure to take a kid fishing.
