Shearon Harris Reservoir

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.
