Hi, I'm from the Leesburg area in Florida near the Harris chain of lakes, have had some pretty good luck on targeting large mouth bass, but still would like more Information (since I'm originally from upstate New York ) on locations on these lakes, like were to go, what's the best type of lure for what time of the year etc. I found out bass fishing is alot different down here , than it was back home, its like starting all over.

Welcome Viper, I’m from South Jersey and been fishing in Florida several times. You are right, Florida bass are not as aggressive as our Northern strain so it’s a slightly different game. Good luck and your fortunate to be down there trying to figure it out.

Welcome Viper, Richie here. I live in Leesburg on Lake Griffin. All of the Harris chain is good. I fish Griffin mostly because of convenience.
PM me with contact info and I will be happy to meet and talk fishing.

I can sympathize with you on that. I moved here to Leesburg 8 months, right on Griffin. Had a house on a lake in the Adirondacks and fished bass there all the time. This lake is spanking me bad. Can’t figure it out….

Have better luck in the summer, to many tournaments during the fall and wiinter, fished all of the Harris chain ,to much pressure on these fish because of this haven't hit a spawning season yet! The only thing I can tell you now that's it summer use a June bug color worm on a 18 Inch monophilment leader seems to work well this time of the year! Good luck.
