AREA LAKE REPORTS

Harris Lake Tues 19 Aug 08
Water temps 80-82

Henry on Shearon Harris ReservoirJames on Shearon Harris ReservoirI got the pleasure of fishing with Henry from Deep Creek Lures today. We started about 6:30 with top water after a few blow ups and no takers we switched to soft plastics. Fish were schooling all over the lake, but the bite was tough. I managed to catch a few with a 10 inch paddle tail worm, two were over the slot. Henry stuck a nice one after it came up schooling by the boat. Overall not a great fish catching day, but truly enjoyed Henry's company and the insite of what is comming out in the Deep Creek Lures line.

Harris Lake - 08/16/08
Water temp 79-81

Set out for Harris this morning, with the recent rain and cooler weather the water temps have dropped over 10 degrees. I started out with some top water, and caught nothing but jack fish. Once the sun came into view, I started hitting the grass with a Deep Creek 10 inch paddle tail worm, a senko, and my trusty jig-X. On one spot in the grass, I caught 10-12 small keepers ripping the jig through the grass, they were slamming it. I put that down after the bite slowed down and picked up a Texas rigged senko and caught a few more. I moved to one of my favorite points, and picked up the paddle tail worm, and caught some slot fish and 3 over the slot within 20 minutes on one point.

When the bite shut down on the point, I moved to the trestle, and caught another one over the slot on the 10 inch worm, along with a few more slots and small keepers.

Harris Lake - 08/03/08
Water temp: 85+

Went to Harris yesterday, there is some major schooling action first thing in the morning in Cary Branch. I Managed a few on topwater, but after the sun came up the schooling action fizzed out. I picked up a crankbait and started running the creek channel in about 22-24 feet of water, caught a few with that including one about 6 pounds. The fish were suspended in about 10-12 feet of water over the creek channel. Left Cary Branch and started hitting the grass with a worm and senko with no luck. I moved to the trestle and again started catching fish on a 10 inch worm. I caught 6 there, and lost a few more, nothing big but some nice slots in the 3-4 pound range. The fish were stacked right on top of the trestle in about 12-14 feet of water.
