Harney today

Got my wife outta bed early to join me on Harney. Started out in 8' of water and was catching a few here and there. Spotted a local that Jeff had pointed out to me fishing shallow. Reeled the lines in to allow about 20' out and followed his lead in the opposite direction. Got into 4' and game on. Fished till 10:00 and left em still hammering away but wanted to beat the showers the news predicted. Ended with 28 in the well and another 17 getting a free pass. Fish were loving the new Slabaliscious baits from Strike King. Had a pile of gut hooked fish longlining, or well shortlining today. Any way heres the pics.Attachment 214063Attachment 214064Attachment 214065Attachment 214066Attachment 214067
Wonder how many fish have passed through that bucket over the years. Get yall some!:biggrin

Been so long I've forgot what they looked like! Thanks for sharing, Mike

4' really?? Guess I'd better make a wider "S" turn next time! :biggrin

Be careful now, Harney's penetrated your blood stream. Who would of thought 80 plus degree water temp & catching them in 4 ft of water. Glad wifey got in on some fish to boot !:highfive

Wondering if that is why I hadnt found em on Monroe yet. Have to check deep in Smokehouse cove next time I try it.

Really appreciate you pushing me to come over there. But no worry, love the 10 minute ride to Monroe once they spark up. Not many weighed today on Monroe.

Nice job. Know that was fun being shallow.

Nice

We got a limit of 40 last week fishing brush in 5 to 10 FOW, most coming in 5 FOW.

Good job. Y'all are killin me!

Nice haul Mike!

Tell Terry he needs to hurry whenever possible.

If all goes well he will be finished there Oct 12th. 2 day drive home so back the 14th or so.

Yay!!

Ginny

Great job Mike!!! Way to take on a new lake....

Nice looking mess of fish Mike, congrats.

I love the slabalicous bait by strike king. Put some good fish in the boat for me. Good report. Really surprising to see them being caught so shallow.

I was surprised as well. Only complaint I have with the Slabiliscous baits is they tear easier than sliders. But I wont complain about that if they keep puttin feesh in the boat. Easy enough to get a plenty more at Academy.

Nice report, I held off from goin this weekend due to the weather guesser report & had a huntin camp meeting SAT.

Guess I'll get on em soon, got the bowhunt itch this year:yikes

Excellant report Mike - and pictures to back it up..........
Really surprised me about being in that shallow of water with 88 plus water temp.
Maybe amount of oxygen in water do to heavy rains past month have allowed them
to move up
