Wanted to start fishing Shearon Harris Lake and was looking for advice. Lake hazards, best times to fish, how crowded, and where may be good places to stay.

If you post this question in the Southeast section of the forums you will more than likely get a few responses.

Fish can be found just about anywhere right now. Went out last Sunday and it was a mad house but that is to be expected for Labor Day weekend. Mornings are my favorite up til noon. Fish topwater early  and I have had luck with cranks, shakey head and trigged 10 inch worms. Watch for  areas around points they are long and slender and you can go for 15ft to a foot quickly. Other than that no major issues with stumps and floating logs. I love that place but it can be very frustrating at times, seems like its always feast or famon for me but I can always manage to catch one. It has been taking 30+ pounds to win the Wednesday night tournaments with the locals, so there are some really good fish in there but its not as easy to catch them as some make it seem. Lodging wise I would look to stay in Sanford or Apex and drive up ( about 20-25 miles)  Good luck
