    Default Saturday was a Very Good Day on Harris


    Actually, it was the best day any of us have had on Harris. It was not so much about the quantity, but the quality. I was fishing with Kevin and Charles and none of us have ever seen such large crappie come from Harris. Kevin got the big one at 14". We ended up keeping about 20 crappie and 20 perch. Some of the perch were very large and put up quite a fight. There was one time when Kevin had perch on all three of his rods and Charles had two rods with perch. Things were hopping on the boat for a little while.

    Had a chance to chat with Hockey86 while on the lake. Kevin, Charles and Hockey86 all have gray/black Tracker Targa boats. If you see one on Jordan or Harris, it is probably one of these three guys. I've got a picture down below of him fishing. I also have a couple of screenshots. Things on Harris look exactly like Jordan--lots of shad and other baitfish in the main channel areas.

    Here's Kevin with his big-fish of the day. He was suffering from a bad cold and landing this slab helped him feel much better.

    Charles and Kevin on several occasions caught two perch at a time. Here's Charles with his two.

    Nice cooler of crappie. If I had not been there in person and caught some of these, I would surely have thought these fish came from Jordan. Nice, big shoulders on them just like the Jordan crappie.

    Here's why the crappie on Harris are so healthy--look at all the shad.

    Humminbird Onix 8 with 2D, SI and DI. Charles also has 360 Imaging, but it does not work as well in 30' water. The 2D and DI work great in deeper water.

    Great job guys. After talking with you guys I caught my biggest at 14" too just before dark. Here's a couple of pics of two days worth of fishing.

    Nice bunch of fillets. It looked like you were in a good location just off the channel. Are you going to eat that roe?

    I usually give them to my dad who really likes them but if he doesn't want them then I'll fry them up. I had a pretty decent area to troll around in but I'm not sure there was a bad spot.

    And pictures, too! Do you fry that roe through and through? I only tried that once while camping and didn't cook them through. While everyone looked on, I bit into one and it dribbled eggs down my chin and everyone around the campfire about barfed! Funniest thing I ever saw.
