At PORTRONICS
on Piedmont Hwy. just below the I-85 Overpass they tells us that
they have been attending many of the wholesale tackle shows in
January and have ordered plenty of the newest fishing tackle.
They will have plenty of insulated bait tanks and about anything
you will need to catch a fish. Stop in and look over what is new
in fishing tackle, electronics and get your tackle box and boat
stocked up for the Spring fishing season. On Lake Hartwell, Russell
and Clarks Hill this is a great time to catch a big striper in
the rivers in the upper part of the lakes trolling planer boards
in the creeks and down by the lower dams. Also crappie fishing
should be good slow trolling jigs or suspending minnows over brush
piles. They suggest you fish the warmer days and fish very slow.
For the bass fishermen most of the tournament trails are starting
their new seasons. They have a huge selection of rods and reels,
custom made crankbaits, spinnerbaits and jigs. For all your tournament
information, stop by the store. FISH THE FALL ELITE TEAM TRAIL

Butch tells us a bunch
of his customers did real well during duck hunting season here
in the Upstate. Stop by SEM GUNWORKS AND TACKLE SHOP at
403 D N. Poinsett Hwy in Travelers Rest just behind Coleman Ford.
The new fishing tackle is starting to come in the door now, and
Butch invites you to stop by and pick up a few items to start
stocking that tackle box while waiting for some great spring fishing
to arrive. Don’t forget that now is the time to bring in
those guns and have them thoroughly cleaned. Fishing is good on
small ponds and rivers in the Greenville area on the warmer days.
Use small minnows under a cork around brush for some great crappie
and bass fishing. He does rod and reel repair, air gun repair,
and Crossman warranty work.
You need to get your
boat in early to have any repairs or replacement done before spring
fishing season starts reports Don at MYERS TRIM SHOP located
on North Church Street here in Greenville. They do tops, upholstery,
furniture, carpet, and much more. There are only so many hours
in the day and so much that they can do, so get it in now so you
will be ahead of the latecomers. He also repairs the Jeep tops
and seats on four-wheelers that you deer hunters might have torn
up during the season.

Brent "Country" Powell of Refuge Feed &Seed says come on down to Possum Kingdom on your way to the Saluda River or Lake Greenwood. There is a sign on Hwy. 25, and they are three miles down the road. They specialize in all types of horse, dog and animal foods plus they have live bait and fishing tackle. Brent stated it is time to get your seed for spring food plots and he has cow feed at $5.99 per bag. Possum Kingdom is a "sportsman's paradise" with some excellent turkey hunting in the area in April. When the Saluda River water level gets back to normal, Bent feels on the warmer days you should be able to catch some catfish on worms.
