Headed out yesterday afternoon to do a little sight fishing on Hartwell. Fished from 2:00 to 5:30. Caught 5 fish, saw all of them eat the bait. 3 were on bed, 2 were cruisers. Caught them on floating worm, tube and jig. Saw a lot of other cruisers and smaller males protecting beds. The bedding fish would respond to the bait almost instantly, but it took a while to get them to actually inhale it. Had one push the bait over a foot with his nose and never open his mouth. I rewarded him by leaving him alone after that. He was obviously smarter than me! All fish were 2lbs.+ but best fish was only 3lbs..

If you like to sight fish, go to Hartwell this week.

catch'em while they are biting, they won't be there when you need them anyways.
