Did a little bit of spoon feeding today. We were looking fo striped bass but we were not so lucky. We caught some small ones. Hartwell has no size limit so we took a few small ones for supper. We also caught two nice largemouth bass and the rest of these are white perch.

We use jigging spoons and silver buddies and vertical jig. It alot of fun. caught these in 25-40 ft of water..

Heard of a 34 lber caught last week here on a jigging spoon, I was looking for one of those guys!

I got a striper out of Hartwell a few years back that weighed 40 lbs. We were fishing a bass tournament when they came up schooling, we were at the mouth of Seneca creek. Right across from the boat ramp. Good fishing in there, you may want to give it a try, if you haven't before.

You got some good eating there, when did you say the fish fry was? I missed that.

I was hoping for tonight but look like the wife has made other plans so i think these are going to go to the freezer until further notice.
Hartwell has some monster stripers if your lucky enough to get hooked up then you have to keep them out of the trees below. Last year a buddy of mine got spooled then wrapped in the trees, we never saw the fish.
