Striped Bass
If you're chasing striped bass near Leesburg, Florida, you'll want to focus your attention on the Harris Chain of Lakes. These interconnected lakes offer diverse habitats where stripers thrive, especially as they follow seasonal forage patterns. The cooler months, from late fall through early spring, are prime time as stripers move into shallower waters to feed. Pay close attention to water temperatures and current, as these factors influence where the fish will hold. Natural presentations, such as live shad or shiners, are highly effective, but be prepared to adjust your depth based on the thermocline. A local tip: The canals connecting the lakes can be productive ambush points. Also, be aware that some areas have submerged vegetation, so weedless rigs are a must. The striper population here is known for its aggressive feeding habits, offering anglers exciting opportunities.
