: Lake Hartwell: Bass: Guide Brad Fowler reports that in January the best bet is to target deep water with drop shot rigs, blade runners or football jigs. Underspins can also work well. Fish will be mixed between the main lake and deeper creek channels. Striper and hybrids: Guide Chip Hamilton (864-304-9011) reports that in January the bite should remain good as long as water temperatures stay above 50 degrees, but if water temperatures drop to about 50 or below the fish will get more sluggish. Overall down-lines in the creeks should remain the best way to catch fish, but on warm afternoons anglers should be able to catch some on free-lines. Crappie: Captain Bill Plumley reports that in January fish should continue to be caught around deep docks in both the creeks and on the main lake. Catfish: Captain Bill Plumley reports that in January blue catfish should come out of the deep timber, and they should begin to be catchable in the creek channels. A variety of cut baits will work.
