Well this is my second trip this season to Harris, but the first trip in my new boat. The engine has a breakin period so we decided to do the first couple of hours. We put in at 6:00PM and up the lake and down the lake we ran. Not much boat traffic except for skiers. We saw 2 other boats fishing. About 7:45 we decided to stop and work up to a point on the main body. With the 1st cast in my new boat, bam about a two pounder. My fishing buddy caught one on his 2nd cast. It was about the same size as mine.

We worked out to the point with no further luck, so it was approaching dark and it was time to run the last 15 minutes off the breakin. We ran toward the dam and turned left and found another nice point. Several bites and my fishing buddy caught one again about 2 lbs and lost a nicer one at the boat.

It was time to run to the dam and we each caught one, mine about 2 1/2 pounds and his about 5 lber but it looked very lean. That fish should have weighed 6-7 lbs for it's length, but it was a real fighter. The wind started to pick up so it was 2am and time to run for the dock. All in all a good first trip for the new boat and me.

I will finish with this one note. To the person who was pulling an inner tube with people on it at 11:30pm...without lights, you are an accident waiting to happen. Next time you may find wildlife personnel waiting for you at the dock.
