Seasonal Activity Chart

Largemouth Bass
Lake County, Florida, and particularly the Harris Chain of Lakes near Tavares, are renowned for largemouth bass fishing. The interconnected lakes offer diverse habitat, from shallow grassy flats to deeper, clearer water. Spring is the peak season, coinciding with the bass spawn. Target bedding bass with soft plastics like worms and lizards in shallow, protected areas. Summer sees bass moving to deeper water, seeking refuge from the heat. Use crankbaits and Carolina rigs around submerged structure. Fall brings cooler temperatures and increased activity as bass feed heavily. Topwater lures and spinnerbaits become effective. A key to success here is understanding the hydrilla and eelgrass growth; bass relate heavily to these areas. Check local reports for the latest information on water levels and vegetation density. Public boat ramps are plentiful, but be prepared for heavy traffic, especially on weekends. Local tip: Early morning and late evening are generally the most productive times, particularly during the warmer months.
