Wednesday, May 24 – Good Morning from Lake Hartwell!
The weather forecast this morning is more of the same for the last day of practice here on Lake Hartwell. This consistent weather pattern so far this week, that’s really going to hold until Friday morning, has allowed the anglers to fish under almost the same wind speed and direction the entire week and should allow for the anglers to continue to expand on their patterns before wrapping up practice at 3:00 PM today.
