I know you are a crappie fisherman that has had schools of Striper tangle every line you had out from time to time. I'm sure your son who is a Striper fisherman has some good intel on Hartwell. Some of your knowledge had to rub off over the years. I will post our results, we have had some success other times we have got our butts kicked but that's fishing.
I am not fishing the tournament, but I will tell you that I had a pretty decent day fishing in the back of a few creeks mid lake Sunday. 2 fish in the 20's, and several teenagers. Had a couple that I couldn't turn around on the first run that got in some trees.
And just remember that "elephants eat peanuts"
