Lake Hartwell Fishing Report – January 2022

Hartwell: Level: 3.3 feet below 660. Temp: 55-60 degrees. Clarity: 2 to 3 feet. 

Bass: Guide Matt Justice reports, “Deep fishing has really kicked into full swing. Fish are coming on a football jig and underspin in 30 to 60 feet of water. Look for large groups of birds as an indicator of where deep bait is present. Look for groups of fish on points humps, ditches and creekbeds. Fishing can be tough once the sun gets up, so an early start is important.”
