I made my annual trip to Hartwell to fish with old friend Tim White. We fished 1/2 day Monday Full days Tuesday and Wednesday and 1/2  day Thursday. We caught and released 76 Spots and 3 Largemouth. The pictures you see  will give you a good idea of the over all size that we caught.  The biggest spots were 2lb 9ounce and 2lb 2 ounces. We had alot of 1 1/2–1 3/4 size fish.  It rain and stormed on Monday and Tuesday–wind blew 15-20 on Wednesday and it was blue bird sky on Thursday. Everyday was different.   We both used a variety of Sufix Braid-mono and fluorocarbon www.sufix.com  VMC Weedless and Non Weedless Finesse jigs. www.vmchooks.com   My best soft plastics was the New Crush City BLT in Ghost Morning Dawn—Albino Pearl and Green Pumpkin Magic www.rapala.com  A few was caught on a variety of crankbaits and zero on top water of any kind.  Another fun trip with an old friend.  Thank you for visiting my site.  More to come Lord willing in the days and weeks to come.  Rick McFerrin www.tennesseebassguides.com
