Title: Pre spawn is on!
Post by: Norman89 on July 02, 2022, 09:05:38 PM: Water was warmed up to 71° today and fish are moving up into the shallows, my boys wife and myself had a absolute blast with just bobber and worm today, 23 crappie, 13 bluegill and a few bonus fish

Some may gripe about taking pre spawn fish, but I assure you harts lake is FULL of stunted fish. Late season is when I usually take a big harvest, but the boys were having so much fun I let them keep a bunch today, will be a fine fish fry tomorrow for lunch. Little over 8 lbs of beautiful cleaned fish, some cleaned whole a bunch fillet and I kept the roe to fry up as well
