Fishing for the first time on this Reservoir. The bite was tough for both me & my buddy. We were throwing practically everything we had at them, blade baits, soft plastics, micro spinners, small cranks to mention a few! Once we brought out the jerkbaits, things changed for me, at least! I hooked a largemouth bass on a Rapala jerkbait. The Clown color seemed to be what they liked best! The one in the picture weighed a little over 3 pounds!

Third trip to Harris in 2024 and found fish in depths from 15-28. This trip we caught all of our fish in 20-22 setup on smaller bait balls of threadfin. Vertical jigging bladebaits, make sure you’re changing cadence and figure out if they want it fast or slow. This trip was post frontal. Bite window was only 45, from about 10:30-11:15. Look on all main lake points where the creek channel is close and secondary points in major creeks where the channel is close.

Found fish on points in 25-30’ of water stacked under bait fish. The points had to be pretty close to the channel. Vertical jig the blade bait with short pops letting the kure set still, either in the bottom or suspended, from 5-10 seconds.

Fish the laydowns in coves and when you see them busting bait, throw a spook!

In early fall the bass set up on the roadbeds and the underwater structure. If they will not bite a crankbait or topwater try throwing a drop shot. The smaller presentation will get bites when the moving baits will not.

During this time of year focus on shallow structure in the warmest areas as bass will start moving shallower to spawn. Choose a lighter jig when up shallow and a little heavier one when you have to push farther out.
