Fishing
Lake Hartwell, on the Georgia/South Carolina border, has long been known as an excellent bass fishery. Both largemouth and spotted bass are present in good numbers, and anglers can land strings of quality fish if they know the territory and habits of the bass.

Among fishermen, there are a few maxims that generally hold true regardless of when or where you’re fishing or what you’re fishing for.

Those eight anglers will launch tomorrow morning (March 5) along with eight non-boaters as the 2010 Lowrance Eliminator Series continues. Windy, cold conditions all day made for rough fishing at…
