Was fishing on Harris today and saw the fish below on the SI. Any idea what kind of fish they are? The SI is set on 108 feet, so these are some large fish. If I were at the beach, I would say mullet, but obviously we don't have mullet in Harris.

I would guess gar or catfish.

I'd say spawning gizzard shad. They tend to swim in a somewhat linear school and throw in a spin or arc from time to time.

Gizzard shad can group up like that.
I've never seen a gar on Harris before, but they sure are shaped like them. Those fish could easily be 18" or more long.
I've been catching white perch there, might be what they are...

How was the crowd at ramp? And how was the bite?
We got there early and no problem at the Crosspoint ramp. Taking out around 4:00 wasn't bad either. Didn't fish for crappie--looking for the elusive shellcrackers. Caught one, but on the small side. Lake is maybe a foot above normal, but very fishable compared to other lakes right now.
I’ve never seen gar school up like that.

Carp
Carp makes sense. They stocked a lot of grass carp in Harris to cut down on the vegetation.
Have the bream even spawned yet? I've been out once a week and haven't found the bream on the beds yet. Maybe they spawned deep or not at all??Sent from my moto g(6) using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:

I think shad also! Throw a cast net next time and see. :dono
Did you check the mussel shells? just asking
Getting rid of the grass will hurt the Shellcracker. Grass means snales and shrimp and that is Shelly food.
