Water Temperature: 68
Water Clarity: 1 foot

I fished Harris some this weekend... More bad than good but what keeps us coming back and from going insane.... The last day of three tough days brought some fish a nice girl!!!!

Sat 630 - 1230 Out early partner got one @ sunup on topwater near some grass, nice slot fish, and that was it for the day. We pitched at the grass for a while and I think we scared more fish than anything. We did get a few bites here and there on grass in some coves but nothing in the boat. Water temp was 61-68 dependent where you where.

Sun 530 - 1200 Out earlier. Nothing before the sun came up, then partner again got one on topwater near grass, another nice slot, and again that was it.

Both days we pitched the grass, shallow spinneraits, jerks, and soft swims. We got bites around the grass but they didn't seem to commit.

I did absolutely see fish on beds. I only threw a couple of times at one buck and he had me on ignore.

Monday 600 -1200 Fished some topwater early and again one slot fish. Worked the grass with a few bumps but again nothing. I took all the shallow stuff off my favorite rods and put on a C-rig, a T-Rig and a rattle trap and moved out. I found a nice trench near a flat that I had no idea was there. It had some rock in it that I could feel with the C-rig. Sat there and proceeded to get 4 with this one being 23+ inches (no scale). I cropped in the second pic of her and check out her tail. Pretty clean, I don't think there is any way she had been up yet. I would say first wave is fully up and more are staging...
