    That's my home chain. Speed worms in watermelon red and June Bug are good in heavy grass and over submerged grass beds. Try several of the residential canals off the Dead River between Eustis and Harris. The grass beds off the mouth of Haines Creek from 100 to 200k+ yards out can produce good bass with a drop shot rigged with Speed worms or Senkos too. Good luck.

    Hi all, had a great time at Harris. We met 2 key people that helped us dial in the bite. We won our little tournament and had right at 18 lbs the first day. And Sunday was not as productive due to the wind. Thanks guys!!! You know who you are. Would not hesitate to return to Harris chain.

    There is a big memorial tournament for Glenn Browne on Harris Saturday. Over 100 boats signed up as of last weekend. Should be a good tournament in memory of a good guy and great fisherman. I'm fishing it (donating..lol) with my wife. Problem is we found fish in Harris, Little Harris and Griffin. All the same size. We are on pace for a 12 to 14 pound limit, which wont get it done.

    No Venetian/ski beach. The new ramp. They are up to 5 flights of 25 boats per flight.
