Good Day At Harris Report

Crappie were biting on Friday. Took the day off and spent most of the day on the water. Caught lots of fish, on various style jigs, didn't really seem to matter what you used as long as it looked like a minnow. Magic depth was around 13-15 feet, could pretty much find fish at that depth everywhere I went. Bigger ones came from brush piles. Water temp around 75 degrees.

Checked out the bream beds, not there yet but seem to be staging. I caught a massive bull bream in a cove in about 10 fow. Hooked another fish that I think was an even bigger bream, probably would have been a wonderful fish, but it broke my 2 lb test after a good 4 minute fight. Fought like bluegill but never saw it. Sure wish I knew what it was :)

nice shellcracker!

Nice job. Did the crappie have any size to them? Were you slow trolling or sitting still? I will probably be there for a couple of hours early Monday morning, get in and get out before the ski boats show up. It's amazing how many people are fishing Harris these days. Been there the last couple of weekends early in the mornings and it literally seems every cove has a boat in it. Most people are bass fishing but occasionally I'll run into someone after crappie or bluegills.

I did a little casting at brush piles and a little slow trolling for fish just hanging in coves. Fish were piled up in back of deep coves so slow trolling is a good option for schools scatters about.

I did managed some good sized fish!
