It has been a few years, but I used to do pretty good at night at Little Lake Harris under the bridge closest to the the boat landing. I fished with underwater Q-Beams and minnows about 3-5 cranks off the bottom.
hey guys,
i am looking for some info on harris chain. what the best lake to fish is on the chain, what depth, what techniques work the best, etc. any info that can be offered up would be great.
thanks,

I would think at Harris Chain that three to five cranks off the bottom would be like fishing a topwater....probably won't get a lot of information on the lake with the big tournament going there this fall though...
If We Are Talking About The Same Bridge, The Maximum Depth When The Lake Is Higher Than It Is Now Is Around 12-14 Ft.
The Night Fishermen Are Now More Likely To Be Fishing Off The Southern Tip Of Horseshoe Island Where The Water Is Deeper.

Call Sandy's Bait and Tackle in Tavares at 352-742-0036 he has a monthly tournament.
Most of which are won on Lake Dora.--shu

You tell'em Shu. Iffin they are looking for deep water, the south end of Harris (west of the bridge) is the old channel. Water there should still be 20-25'.
Shu, you been doing any good?? Over here, they are deep and scattered. Under the bridge in 25+' the boats line up and with all the lights, looks like a village at night. They are getting a few, but I am having too much fun with the channels.

A gun in hand is a lot better than a cop on the phone.
