Kissimmee Bass Fishing

Thursday, June 17. 2010
The weather is hot and so are the bass. Early morning before it gets too hot is the best time to fish. Large wild shinners will always catch fish but using large plastic worms like june bug and watermellon red work as well, small top water baits work well on the schoolies. This week Wednesday night pot tournament winning weight 23 lb for 5 fish big fish 10.8 lb. I hear a lot of anglers coming down from up north and saying thats there no fish in this lake. All I got to say to that is, if you want to find out where the fish are and what to use to catch them Hire a Guide. Good Luck

Big Lake Tohopekaliga Kissimmee, Fl

Bass are now in pre-spawn every one (mostly the guides) are catching a lot of 7 to 10 pound bass. Find the hydrilla thats is starting to come up from 8 feet to 6 feet. Use shinners or fluks. Also fishing the same baits in the Kissimmee grass and around the aligator weed, morning or afternoon will produce big bass. Move around the lake some spots will produce more fish than others. Keep only what you can eat that day, and release the rest. This lake gets a lot of fising presure, if we want to catch big fish every year to come than we have to release the big females today. 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.

Bass fishing on Big Lake Toho is getting better and better every day. Most of the bass being caught are between 3 to 8 lbs. The fish are starting to get into that pre spawn mode, there splashing the shiners on top and being very aggressive, that a good sign. They are also taking artificial baits, top water and plastics. Still on the specks (crappie) the catching is good around the markers 26 and 29 early morning and late afternoon. Good Luck and Good Fishing.

I spoke with one of the FWC biologist this week about the fish kill from the extream cold weather that we had a few weeks ago. Freshwater fish that were affected were : catfish species, mostly tropical catfish species that don't belong here anyway, and tilapia species, (which are a vegitarian fish). Very few if any bass , crappie, or bream were affected.

This past week the air temp has been up as high as the low 80's, and the water is warming up slowly. But the fish still have to eat. Use large shinners above the new hydrilla thats just now starting to come back up, find it on your depth finders, you will see stands of it fish around them. For artificial baits they are catching bass on spinner baits, or crank baits, and plastics. The specks (carppie) late afternoon around the markers, use minnows or jigs tipped with minnows. Please keep what you can use and Release the rest. Lest go Fishing, Good Luck.

Bass Fishing Holidays

Friday, January 1. 2010
Before Xmas the fishing was slow cold front after cold front had the bass confused. After Xmas was about the same. But still you could catch them using large shinners or plastics fishing real slow. A lot of the time they would take the bait and then spit it back at you. The specks slowed down to but if you can find the right color jig you could still fill your live well. Now that the holidays are behind us we can start focusing on finding those realy big bass the ones in the double digit range. Good Luck and Good Fishing.

This past week started out ok with the weather in the upper 70s, now today the high was 51. The bass early this week were biting pretty good and the crappie (specks) were still going strong. Still on the bass use large plastic and flukes or wild shinners. For the specks minows and small jigs or hall flys, work the best tipped with minows.

Orlando Bass and Crappie Fishing

Sunday, December 13. 2009
They spraid the hydrilla last week and we now starting to see the results. Most of the hydrilla down lake has died, but on the upper end it is still showing. The water level is up to 55.2 feet above sea level thats due to the rain that we had last week, and they are not dropping the level. So some hydrilla is still there but you can't see it due to the level. But fishing is still great bass are hitting on soft plastic and shinners, the specks (crappie) are still in deep water. Lets go fishing, Good Luck.
