Hi folks. Harry from New Hampshire here. My sister lives on Hartwell lake down in Georgia. Do any of you folks fish on that lake and/or have any experience that you'd like to share about that lake? I had a small fishing boat laying around the house that I wasn't using (you do know that you can't never have too many bass boats, dontcha?) and my lady was starting to get a little testy about the amount of my stuff just laying around her house unused, so last weekend I loaded the little lady on the trailer (I'm talking about the boat now) and hauled her down to Hartwell and gave it to my sister. We went out fishing a couple of times before I came back to NW, but didn't even get a bite. The guy at the bait house said that nothing was biting yet so at least I felt better that it wasn't us doing a bad job. But, does anyone have any experience with this lake as to when the fish start to bite? Thanks. Harry

Wish I could be of some help but I am no help there. I was actually born in Bowersville Ga and Heartwell Ga on that lake. I learned to swim, ski, and fish there. I moved away to NC in 1986 and have only been back once to fish there. It is a great lake though

Had the opportunity to troll for stripers with Umbrella rigs about 8 years ago on a buddy’s pontoon boat. We fished for about 3 hours and landed about 15 fish, smallest was about 4#. Also caught a few spotted bass on crank baits. I believe it was June, so it may be a while yet. I will look for the pics to share as they are in a file...somewhere.
