I'm proud to be part of your group! I've been looking at all your posts everyday for about a year and love them and learn something new every day from them! I live on a canal off Lake Eustis and fish the Harris Chain of Lakes and catch lots of Bass, Crappie, Catfish, Bluegill and Shellcracker. Grandson caught a 14 lb 7 oz bass off our dock! He always out fishes me! Hope we can post some good catches!!

Sorry... don't know Blue Parrot, but I wish I did! And, my new friend, I'm from Findlay, Ohio. Been down here since 1985. Used to fish Lake Erie for Walleye and Perch! Great Fishing back then!! Moved to Orlando and worked for Orange County 27 years until I retired in 2012. Bought this place on the canal in 2001 and just used it for weekend get aways from City life. Love the Chain of Lakes!! After retirement and moving here fulltime, I got a partime job working for Florida Fish & Wildlife 20-30 hrs aweek as a Creel Technician. My job was to go out on Big & Little Lake Harris and interview anglers about their catches and document and then check licences and answer questions they may have about limits or other things about the lakes. Greatest job I ever had!!! Retired from that last summer. Now a fulltime angler and know all the best fishing spots!!!

Blue Parrot is in Lady Lake. Didn't do any fishing there but all the lakes from there to Leesburg looked good. While I was there couldn't make time to fish. I grew up in N.E. Ohio and fished every pond, lake, creek I could. My first walleye was out of the north end of Mosquito Lake using a Styrofoam sail boat trolling under sail. I've done some trout fishing in western Pennsylvania.

fishingMachine. Wow! You are ahead of me. I am working on my grand nephew who is 8 Years old. He loves to fish and it is really the only thing that he will pay close attention and listen to what I am trying to teach him. Just Sayin...RJS

Welcome aboard FM.. I used to love fishing the Harris chain. Eustis, Griffin, Dora and Ocklawaha river were my favorites, when I lived in Deltona. I need to get back down there. Maybe for good.
