highly stressed crank baits in the backs of creeks for this time of
year, (following the shad). So sad to hear about the two GA guys who lost
there life on Lake Keowee last

Had not heard about the deaths in the tournament on Keowee - have any more
info about it?

The shad have not really moved back yet here, but this cold snap may be what
they need. We were catching most of our fish on main lake points to the first
point in creeks and coves.

I did an article for Georgia Outdoor News about November bass fishing at
Hartwell. That article stressed fishing in the creeks with Shadraps and jig and
pig. The bass should be on that pattern at HArtwell now - we fished the little
creeks around the bridge in Twenty and Six mile (or Twentysix on some maps)
creek. Near Portman Shoals Marina anyway.

Thanks so much,

I am not sure if I am headed towards Hartwell or a small local lake here
in N.C., it was a private lake at one time and just went public, so I amm
not sure which one I will be hitting as I have to work at 3pm Monday. But if
I go to Hartwell, I will for sure fish the area you have recommended. As for
the deaths of the two tourney men, this is all I could muster up. Hope this
helps. (I had thought that they were both from N. Augusta, but I guess not.

GREENVILLE -- Speed and lack of visibility are thought to be factors in a
boating collision that killed two men on Lake Keowee, Pickens County
officials say.

Christopher Lee Wilson, 34, of Central, and Joshua Kaleb Merck, 24, of Six
Mile, were killed Saturday at about 2 p.m., Coroner James Mahanes said.

"One boat went over top of the other," the coroner said.

Thanks for the info. I don't know what happened, but it always amazes me folks
will run wide open and be on the wrong side of a point or channel where
visibility is bad. If boaters would keep right when rounding points and running
channels, it would help some. Most boaters don't have any concept of the keep
right rule.

I have actually had boat operators scream at me for staying to the right
in a narrow channel, and tell me it was "...the other side on the water."

I know - I think that is because the steering wheel is on the right in boats as
opposed to the left in autos - that must confuse them. It is obvious they have
not bothered to read the regulations.

That explains it on the water. But how do you explain it with women
pushing shopping carts in supermarkets?
