The mouth of most of your canals on the Harris Chain is giving up some pretty nice Bass using a Rat-L-Trap, topwater baits or a swimming type weightless worm.
A Culprit Pro-Frog, flipping with a Bass Assassin June bug blue tailed worm and wild Shiners are all producing some nice Bass. A lot of the local small lakes are hot right now. Fishing a wild shiner on a freeline (without a bobber or weight) is still producing some of the bigger fish. A Rat-L-trap (chrome blue, chrome green or gold} has also produced some nice Bass for my customers. A slow falling sinking weightless worm (Producto’s Hot Rod works great) or a white and chartreuse Stanley spinner bait reeled in as slowly as possible, are both working quite well. Be sure to lift up on your rod tip occasionally to make the spinner bait look as natural as possible. A Producto watermelon, Junebug or redbug Hot Rod worm is a good bait to be throwing right now. If you think you are fishing too slow, slow down even more. This bait can produce some huge Bass but it has to be worked very slowly. Lake Dora, Lake Harris, Lakes Cypress, Toho and Lake Hatchineha are still giving up some nice Bass on wild Shiners and flipping the heavy Kissimmee Grass. Be sure to try a frog or toad, cranking them fast (first thing in the morning or all day if it is overcast), over lily pads, topped out hydrilla and along weed lines for Largemouth Bass.
