Found a hump where the bass had the shad schooled up and trapped. We took the little rage swimmer and wore them out!!!!! We switched from the regular Squadron head to the belly blade hook and kept on snatching them. We had a ball!!!!!

Winter time fishing on Sharon Harris can produce big results. With less pressure it's a perfect opportunity to go out and get some largemouth bass. Look for bassin deeper part of the lake normally 30 ft. Marks and bass and drop a spoon down. Blade baits are another great option this time of the year.

Points
I've had the best luck cruising points looking for large schools of shad. Casting a buzz bait over the top has been fun. Casting a jigging spoon or a weighted soft jerk bait has caught me some fish as well. The dog days of summer have made #'s hard to come by for me anyway. The buzz bait has been the confidence lure for me lately.

Work the rip rap with the spinner bait during the spring. Also check out the chunk rock scattered around the rocky banks. Good luck at Harris.

Shearing Harris boasts some of the biggest Bass in the southeast and fall is a great time to target them. My favorite way to catch them is throwing the Rebel Pop-R. Toss it to the edge of the bullrush that is plentiful on the shoreline and pop it back to the boat. More than likely you will get some blow ups on that technique. Be sure to vary your pops letting it sit for a few seconds in between pops. Also you will find some rip rap and chunk rock areas, throw a crank bait in these areas for some great action. I like the Strike King 6xd in the sexy shad color. When things are slow, maybe post frontal conditions, toss a senko in high percentage areas for some great action. I like the original Yamamoto 5" in the green pumpkin watermelon color. Good luck on Harris this fall.

I had a ball ripping the Vault off bottom about 3 ft and letting it flutter back down. The bass would about knock the rod out of my hand as soon as I pulled up and stopped.
