I am new to this page but have really enjoyed navigating through it. I am hoping to take my wife crappie fishing on friday, she has never been before and i want her to catch some fish and have a good time. I was hoping to go to hartwell because it is the closest lake to us. I fished hartwell 2 weeks ago and it was kind of slow, caught a lot of small fish under 10in. Has the bite picked up on hartwell? Have they moved into shallow water yet? My other option was secession but i am afraid the ramp will be full on a holiday weekend. Thank you.
