Captain Simon Borja knows exactly where the big bass are hiding in Central Florida's legendary Harris Chain of Lakes. This top-rated half-day fishing charter puts you right in the middle of some of the state's most productive largemouth bass waters, and with over a decade of guiding experience, Simon's got the local knowledge to make your morning on the water count. You'll launch at first light aboard his fully rigged 22-foot Nitro bass boat, hitting the prime feeding spots while the fish are still active and aggressive. Whether you're a weekend angler looking to improve your technique or an experienced bass fisherman wanting to explore new waters, this four-hour adventure delivers consistent action in one of Florida's most renowned bass fishing destinations.
Your day kicks off at 7:00 AM sharp – prime time for bass fishing when the water's still cool and the fish are prowling the shallows for breakfast. Simon's Nitro boat comes fully loaded with everything serious bass anglers appreciate: GPS navigation to hit those sweet spots quickly, a high-definition fishfinder to locate structure and baitfish, and a whisper-quiet wireless trolling motor for sneaking up on spooky fish. The Harris Chain is a connected series of lakes covering thousands of acres, giving you access to diverse fishing environments from shallow grass flats to deeper ledges and creek channels. You'll move between productive areas based on conditions, weather, and where the fish are most active that particular morning. The best part? All your tackle and gear are provided, so you just need to show up with a cooler for your catch, a valid Florida fishing license, and maybe some snacks and drinks for the trip.
Simon runs a mixed bag of proven bass techniques depending on the season and what the fish are telling him. You might start the morning flipping and pitching soft plastics into heavy cover, then transition to topwater action if the fish are busting baitfish in open water. The Harris Chain's diverse structure means you could be working everything from Texas-rigged worms along grass lines to cranking deep ledges where the big females like to hang out. The boat's equipped with quality rods and reels spooled with fresh line, plus a full selection of proven Harris Chain baits – everything from swimjigs and spinnerbaits to the latest soft plastic innovations that Florida bass can't resist. Simon's approach is hands-on but adaptable to your skill level. New to bass fishing? He'll walk you through proper casting techniques and help you feel those subtle bites. Already know your way around a bass boat? He'll put you on fish and let you work your magic while sharing insights about reading the water and adjusting to changing conditions throughout the morning.
Florida Largemouth Bass are the undisputed kings of the Harris Chain, and these aren't your typical northern strain bass – they're the Florida strain that grows bigger, fights harder, and feeds year-round in this subtropical climate. These fish average 2-5 pounds but regularly push into the 6-8 pound range, with true giants over 10 pounds always a possibility. What makes Harris Chain bass special is their aggressive nature and willingness to hit a wide variety of baits. They spawn from late winter through early spring, making them particularly territorial and reactive, but even in the heat of summer, they'll crush a well-presented topwater bait at dawn or nail a deep-running crankbait along the thermocline. Fall months bring some of the best action as bass feed heavily preparing for winter, often schooling up and competing for baitfish. The Harris Chain's abundant vegetation and varied structure create perfect bass habitat, supporting both numbers and size. These fish have seen plenty of lures over the years, making them smart and challenging, but when you hook into a 5-pound Harris Chain largemouth, you'll understand why anglers travel from across the country to fish these waters.
