Fishing Reports Orlando Bass Fishing

Saturday, February 20. 2010
The lake temp is in the upper 50's just about like the high air temp. But the temp is rising this week coming we are going to be in the mid 70's, Tuesday is going to be 76, and thats more like it. Thats means the bass will start to go into pre spawn, thats means double digit bass, 10lb to 12lb or better. the lake temp needs to get to about 62 and then they will turn on. Get the biggist shiners that you can big bait will produce big bass. Good Luck

Orlando Bass Fishing reports

Monday, February 8. 2010
On Big Lake Toho the weather is still giving us a problem with the cold. But every third day or so it warms up and the bass starting eating. This past week fishing was a little slow but today one of our guys caught 18 bass from 4 lbs to 8 lbs on a half day charter. It's all about being in the right spot and having the right bait. Large wild shiners work the best the bigger the better, big bait, big fish. For artificial use large plastic fluks, worms, or flipping plastics. Next month the double digit bass will start to bite on every thing you through at them. Don't Miss It. lets go fishing.

The warm weather has made it a lot better for fishing. The Trout fishing is still very good. Lots of short fish, but you will catch some real nice fish. A DOA shrimp and a popping cork works great, or a live shrimp.
Pinch the tail off and use a 1/8oz. jig head, hooked in the tail. Fish The oyster bars in Matlacha Pass, with some deeper water around them on in coming tide. Gault Is. has some nice fish, and some good fish around Chino. Red Fish are in skinny water. Bull Bay, Turtle Bay, and the back of Whidden Bay. Fish early on in coming water. Watch for tailers. Best bait, live shrimp with a split shot. Pinch the tail off hook shrimp in the tail. Sheepshead bite has improved a bunch. Try using those old dead shrimp that have turned yellow they stink but work great! Don't forget, if you need shrimp see my good friend Sal at the fish house at the end of Palm Av. or marker 12 ICW. If you are fishing Charlotte harbor, go by and see Capt. Ray at Fine Bait and Tackle on US 41 north of Lowe's.
Have a good week, good luck.

Trout,Trout,Trout, every where!! A blind Cave man could catch Trout right now. Alot of 12"-14" fish.
Our best Trout came on a Popping cork with a DOA shrimp, fishing the grass and in some of the creeks and canals where there was a little deeper water. We also saw some real nice Snook and caught four on a Zoom Fluke, trying to find some Reds. Caught some short Reds but no keepers.
Sheepshead bite has been a little slow. We did catch some nice fish using a 1/8oz jig head with a small piece of watermelon green grub and half a live shrimp. This is a deadly way to get them to bite!!
Have seen lots of small bait fish in the canals, so by spring there should be lots of bait.
The Deep Freeze has put a hurt on the Snook, but I feel they will bounce back in a year or so. Come fall I think catching big Trout will be the best we've seen in many years.
Fishing is great go catch 'em! Good luck and good fishing.
