Hybrid Striped Bass
Targeting hybrid striped bass in the waters around Leesburg, Florida, requires a slightly different approach than largemouth fishing. These hard-fighting fish are stocked in some of the larger lakes within the Harris Chain, offering a unique angling experience. Cooler months, particularly late fall through early spring, are generally the most productive as the hybrids become more active. Focus on areas with current, such as the connecting canals between lakes or near deeper channels. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be effective ways to cover water and locate schools of hybrids. Keep an eye on your electronics to identify schools of baitfish, as the hybrids are likely to be nearby. Check local fishing reports for stocking updates and recent hot spots. The deeper sections of Lake Harris are known to hold hybrids, but remember to check depth finders for thermoclines.
