Lake Hartwell and Lake Jocassee Report:

Jocassee and Hartwell fishing report:

Jocassee 79 Degrees.  Over all fishing has been fair.  The trout are deep. 
We are catching most of the trout 70-110 feet down.  Live Shinners and Spoons
are working good trolled on downriggers.  Live bait is working a little better
then artifical.  Troll slow!  Night fishing has slowed for the year.

Hartwell down to 84 Degrees.  Over all fishing has been tough but improved
fishing to be expected.  Last week has been the toughest week I have had all
year to put fish in the boat.  It wasn't a problem finding fish, it was to get
the fish to bite.  Dog Days of summer have crept up on the stripers...   I
forcast the next couple months to improve.  Expect Stripers to start to school
more and more as the water temp falls.  yesterday was Prime example of this...
It turned out to be one of the best days I have seen in two weeks.  It all came
from one school of fish that started Chasing bait on the surface.... Our two
big fish were 22 and 15 pounds, the rest were 4-8 pound average.   I think we
boated near 20...  It was sure a good releif after last weeks fishing to see
biting fish!
