There on the move at Harney

Tried my luck this morning only to find the fish are starting to leave the lake & go to there spawning grounds, caught about 30, but many were small & fished til' 1:30 to do so, before giving up to the rain. Kept 14 hostage with (2) 13"= big fish, all given a pass today. Saw Slow-ride & brother back at the ramp & looked like they did OK, just mentioned, as par for this time of year, the big'ns have been picked over & or spawning. The most excitement for the morning was a 20 minute battle with a 4ft Gar, sure was fun that some how was able to not cross any other lines, after he had pulled drag over 10 times, he's got my road-runner & that's fine by me. A few pics sunrise, gar, & hostage tank....

Looks and sounds like a good day for sure.

good picks

Great report Jeff!

I was wondering what was going on over there while I was bummin around Monroe last week. Good report Jeff, thanks for the update. Looks like you enjoyed the day.

thanks for the report.

It was good seeing ya Jeff. Turned out to be a pretty good day :)

Glad to see you caught a few nice ones. We struggled at Harney this year, only a few shad in the Econ high water killed our fishing. Did manage to put 12 fish over two pounds in the boat the first week then things went down hill and we finished up today catching bass in the wind. Will try to put together some pics this week.........16 straight days of fishing I need to get back to work and rest.............

My wife doesn't understand 16 days in a row, but I do. Glad you got to enjoy the time with your buds doing what you love to do.

That's a darn good 1st week Andy, those caught in the river at Harney? I figured that high water had them gorging in the waters that spilled over the banks...

First winter crappie fishig but have noticed the same in smaller fish. Areas Ochlockonee River, Talqun, Lake Imonia. Next window will be Thursday and would like to go to the river but its back up and all out in the woods probably Imonia its a little more forgiving on the wind. The wind is peeled back and blowing 35-40 here and suppose to lay some in the morning. Will be at your house soon. Dose the water temp,moon or a photo period decide when these fish go to shallow water to spawn?
