Haven't been to Harris in I don't remember but heading there in the morning.   It's late but sure would like a little help, PLEASE!

In October, Harris bass are scattered.  The bass are where you find them   We had a lot of rain this summer and the water level is good.  The rain stopped about a month ago, so there is not much current.  Bass are starting to move shallow.  I am not an offshore fishermen, so I can't be of much help there.   I would fish the outside edges of the deeper grass.  Flipping plastic worms gets the bigger fish. I once won a local tournament in October with a two fish bag that weighed 17 pounds.

 

My favorite spots are scattered pads.  If the water is clear, try a plastic toad.  If not, throw a spinnerbait back in the pads.  Be persistent and you will catch fish.  If the weather is bad, go to the deeper canals where there are resident fish year round.  Haines Creek is always an option. The Chain has been hammered by tournaments all year long.  The boat ramps are full on weekends.  You will do much better during the week.  If you want real adventure, try fishing Apopka.  It's much better than most people think.  Good Luck!

I believe he meant shearon harris, NC 

Ed Shearon Harris?

 

Good band name

I am no Shearon Harris expert and won’t pretend to be but I have piddled around in that puddle and it had some awfully big fish in there when I was fishing it. I haven’t caught huge ones out of there but there is a video floating around on YT that I’ve posted of a couple catching a 5 fish sack weighing nearly 50lbs. If the lake is holding up good, still a great place to be

Reading about throwing a toad in lily pads still did it for me!
