Captain Simon Borja knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he's ready to put you on some serious largemouth bass action across Florida's legendary Harris Chain of Lakes. This isn't your typical weekend fishing trip – we're talking about an 8-hour deep dive into some of Central Florida's most productive bass waters, where two anglers get the full VIP treatment aboard a fully rigged 22' Nitro bass boat. Whether you're a seasoned tournament angler or just getting serious about bass fishing, this $475 guided experience delivers the kind of focused, productive day on the water that keeps anglers coming back season after season.
Your day kicks off at 7:00 AM sharp – and trust me, that early start is pure gold for bass fishing. The Harris Chain stretches across multiple connected lakes in Lake County, giving us endless opportunities to find active fish throughout the day. Captain Simon runs a top-rated operation with a 22' Nitro that's built for serious bass fishing. We're talking GPS, quality fishfinder, wireless trolling motor – all the tech you need to stay on fish and fish efficiently. The boat handles two anglers comfortably, so whether you're bringing your fishing buddy, spouse, or anyone else ready for some quality time chasing bass, you'll have plenty of room to work. All your tackle and gear comes included, so you just need to show up with a valid Florida fishing license, maybe a cooler for drinks and snacks, and the energy to battle some chunky Florida largemouths. This trip suits all skill levels because Simon knows how to read his guests and adjust the approach – beginners get the crash course in bass basics, while experienced anglers can dive into advanced techniques and structure fishing.
The Harris Chain offers incredible diversity when it comes to bass fishing structure and techniques. We're working everything from shallow grass flats and cypress trees to deeper ledges and channel swings. Simon's approach changes with the conditions – early morning might find us throwing topwater around shallow cover, then transitioning to soft plastics and crankbaits as the sun gets higher. The wireless trolling motor is a game-changer here, letting us position quietly and work structure without spooking fish. Depending on the season and what the bass are doing, you might be flipping heavy cover, working swimbaits around grass lines, or cranking deeper structure. The fishfinder helps us locate schools and mark productive areas, while the GPS lets us hit proven spots efficiently throughout the day. Simon provides all the tackle, but he's also great about explaining the why behind each technique – what makes a particular lure effective in specific situations, how to read structure, and when to switch up your presentation. It's hands-on learning that makes you a better angler, not just a passenger along for the ride.
Largemouth bass are the absolute kings of the Harris Chain, and these Florida strain fish are built different from their northern cousins. We're talking about bass that can push 8-10 pounds on a good day, with plenty of solid 3-6 pound fish to keep your drag screaming. Florida largemouths are aggressive year-round thanks to our climate – they don't have that winter shutdown you see up north, which means productive fishing in every season. Spring brings the spawn, when bass move shallow and get territorial, making for some of the most exciting sight fishing you'll find anywhere. Summer has them relating to grass and structure during the day, with killer topwater action at dawn and dusk. Fall sees them feeding heavily as baitfish schools move, and winter can actually produce some of the biggest fish of the year as they pack on weight. What makes Harris Chain bass special is their fighting ability and size potential – these fish have room to roam across connected waters, feeding on abundant forage like shiners, bluegill, and crawfish. They're smart, they're strong, and when you hook into a good one, you'll understand why Florida bass fishing has such a reputation. The diversity of the chain means we can target different types of bass behavior throughout the day – aggressive shallow fish in the morning, then maybe structure-oriented fish as conditions change.
Look, there's a reason Captain Simon's calendar fills up fast – this is the kind of bass fishing experience that turns good days into great memories. Eight hours on prime Florida bass water with a guide who knows every productive spot, all the gear included, and a boat set up specifically for success. At $475 for two anglers, you're looking at serious value for a world-class bass fishing adventure. The Harris Chain isn't going anywhere, but the bite windows and weather patterns that make for legendary fishing days don't wait around. Whether you're planning a guys' trip, want to introduce someone to serious bass fishing, or just need a day away from everything except the sound of your drag running, this trip delivers. Captain Simon's approach focuses on putting you on fish while teaching you the water – you'll leave knowing more about bass fishing and already planning your next trip back. Don't let this one sit in your wishlist too long; the best fishing days book up fast, and there's nothing worse than watching prime bass weather roll through while you're stuck on shore wishing you'd made the call.
