Same down here, but something else going on too...Hartwell was down as much as 23' for as much as 24-36 months...the lake normally "turns over" (temp and dissolved oxygen) and hasn't this year...a theory has all the vegetation that grew along the exposed edge of the lake normally underwater is rotting now that the lake is back up and the rotting is causing lowered D.O. levels...bummer...also there is LOADS of baitfish so there's no reason for them to be hungry...whatever it is, things have SLOWED way down...
