Early Morning and Late Evening: Regardless of the season, early morning and late evening hours often provide favorable fishing conditions. Fish tend to be more active during these times, seeking food in the cooler temperatures. The low light conditions can also make fish less wary and more receptive to biting.

The average size of the fish caught on Lake Hartwell varies depending on the species. Largemouth bass typically average 1-3 pounds, while striped bass and hybrid bass typically average 3-6 pounds. White bass and white crappie typically average 1-2 pounds.
