Who's fished them?? Never been to either, planning on heading down there these next few weeks to try and get a feel for the lake(s)... got a tournament in a couple months, and I was just wanting some general info, if anybody has any...

Put in at Sugar Creek Public ramp across from Sugar Creek Marina. Sugar Creek is one of the best places on the lake to fish. There are a bunch of bass in there and no shortage of docks to fish. When are you planning on going down and when are your tournaments?

i've fished Hartwell, someone told me they're somewhat similar. i did good finding a little bit darker water and targeted brush piles in 6-10ft. with a shaky-head trick or finesse worm (watermelon candy or pumpkin i used) i had to really pick them apart slowly- sometimes the bass wouldn't bite it for eternity,but they're there. also picked up some fish with a lipless crank on a steep point near a creek channel. good luck.
