Harney 11/15

At long last I was able to get up and get everything put together so that I could be on the water shortly after the sun. Calm winds and little traffic and temps right at 60* made for a pleasant start to the day. Pic was at the ramp facing East, and those clouds stayed for most of the trip.The fish weren't super busy but kept me going until I finally found an area that did better than most anywhere else. The fish in the pic was #4 and came close to the 13 mark and was the big for the day, though 2 others were almost the same. Catch for the day was 33 and 7 with shoulders made the ride home while anything under 11 went back. Neighbor was glad to take 3 of the 7 and was surprised to see them still swimming. Brownie points there.Around 9:30 the wind was noticeable and about 10 I had enough and wound em in. I ran a 12 rod assortment today with 6 spider, 2 with 3/8 and 3" curl tails, and 4 out the sides with spinners. Everything produced but the brighter colors were slower, I believe, because of the cloud cover that i had for most of the trip. Purple body and chartreuse tail was a clear favorite. Once again the spinners produced several good fish but I believe I need to go to a #2 hook as I missed several for no reason. Also lost a real goodun just as it came to the surface. All in all a fine trip though short. Battery gremlin showed his head, not sure if it's battery or charger, this week for diagnosis. Hope Y'all get out.......Skeet.

That's more like it.

Great post and pictures, thanks for sharing.

Good to hear you got out, that one in the photo is a football for sure! Thanks for the report. Good luck on your battery/charger problem.

Sound like a great trip

Glad ya made it out. Sounds like ya had a good time. Might be time to pony up for some fresh batteries though.

Sounds like a nice trip, I held off due to the wind.:cheers2

Very nice, thanks for the write up.

Good to see ya get out Skeet, don't give up if the trolling goes south & you've got wind...had some great days on Harney drifting w/wind & poles over 1 side, road runners are great to rip off the bottom rockn' with the waves.......
