Drove up to Harmony twsp early. Started fishing @ 5:30am with BigFishy and Ricanthunder aka Jack Ambien lol. We were looking for the trout again but they didn't really cooperate. Got a small laker and after 3hrs of driving rain we went shallow for smallies. We lost count as to how many we caught. Most fish were in the 18" range. I finally got one on the board at 21" which was nice. The perch and pickerel were also very active..had plenty of action with them. At around noon we decided to pack it in and get ready for the night bite in Clinton

Everyone took a nap through a really nasty t-storm and we were back fishing by 6pm. The hybrids were hungry and catching those drag screaming maniacs was a welcome change. Biggest one was about 23" and 6lbs. We were even treated to some nice smallies that night. A boat close by caught a very nice pike as well. At around 1am BigFishy and I fell a sleep and Jack Ambien was in full effect lol. He caught a few nice eels and I think a catfish. We all woke up at 5am to the sun and geese and zombie drove home. I don't think the Hybrids are in full go mode yet but they will be in a few days. Herring spawn is definitely peaking at night as well.

Thanks guys..i didnt want to sleep on the boat but the other two nuts were not done yet lol. Anyone have any ideas what that scar on the smallie could be from?? He had it on both sides almost identical..kind of looked like a lamprey but i have no idea. I didnt think they had any in that reservoir.

I could be wrong but I think that wound was from bouncing around in the bottom of someones boat....Who knows could be anything,lots of tourneys at that place...That same fish had lots of battle scars inside his mouth....
Staying into sunrise didn't help much fishing wise but it did give us a good idea on when the herring started crashing the shore wit da spawn....

Anybody else have ANY idea on dat injured fizz???????
