What you need to know about fishing Lake Harris

Lake Harris is located in Leesburg, Florida and occupies 13,788 acres of the Harris Chain of Lakes. Lake Harris is known for its trophy largemouth bass fishing. Large Tournament circuits make their annual visit to Harris early in the year due to the quality of fishing during the winter. Anglers often are found fishing isolated clumps of hydrilla and other submergent vegetation. Depending on conditions lipless crankbaits, speed worms, and even carolina rigs can produce good fish. As with most lakes in Florida, Lake Harris has the potential to kick out some giant bass. Many tournament pro's upsize some of their tackle, such as treble hooks, in order to prevent losing fish. Shad are the main forage in Lake Harris, this results in Chrome or White colored lipless crankbaits excelling more than any other colors. Soft plastics, such as speed worms or beaver style flipping baits, are preferred for getting in and out of some of the thick cover.
