Lake Hartwell and Lake Jocassee fishing report

1/16/2013

As of Hartwell, over all for January the fishing has been pretty good.  Now we have had a little rain and a few weather fronts that have pushed through since the new year and that has mixed things up a little.  As for water temps last week I recorded 45-47 degrees, now the last few days I have seen 52-58 degrees.  Now that is surface temps.  It is still chilly down 20 and 30 feet.  Trolling umbrella riggs early in the main river channels has been working well, but as the sun comes up keep an eye in the sky for the little white gulls working a specific area.  If you see birds that just wont leave an area, that means there are fish feeding somewhere close.  Try fan casting small jigs or if you mark fish on the fish finder try a jigging spoon at the same depth the fish are.  I also throw free lines out behind the boat and have been picking stripers up.
- Jocassee has been great for January.  We are catching good numbers of trout from 15-40 feet on both live bait and Spoons.  As of keeper fish, most of the fish are under 15 inches, but a few fish have tipped the scales in the 4-6 pound range which is a better than average trout! Tight lines.
