Lake Hartwell Fishing Report – April 2025
GON Staff | March 27, 2025
Hartwell: Level: 0.2 feet below 660. Temp: 56 degrees. Clarity: Clear.
Bass: Cole Wilson, with Spot Chaser Guide Service, reports, “Fish are in all stages across the whole lake. There are some fish in prespawn, spawn and even postspawn out there right now. For prespawn fish, look in ditches and rocky points throwing a Damiki jig, shaky head and crankbait. For spawning fish, any flat pocket protected from a north wind should be holding spawning fish. Target these fish with a wacky worm or swimbait. Another spawning pattern is to target rocky shoals with a Keitech swimbait slow-rolled on the bottom. For postspawn fish, remember they are going to be lazy but will fall for a slow-moving bait like a Carolina rig, shaky head or a wacky worm. Target these fish on the first points coming out of the spawning pockets. Full moon is April 12, so the biggest wave of spawning fish for the year should pull up and go on bed around that time.”
