Giant Lake Toho bass

Lake Toho Winter News Flash!

Thanksgiving is the beginning of our peak season for catching trophy sized bass here in Kissimmee Florida on West Lake Toho. This is the time of year where we catch more bass in the 10-pound plus range than any other time of year, and to make it even better Hurricane Irma was a big benefit to the bass fishing on Lake Toho. Water levels rose three to four feet after the hurricane and it flushed out the lake and cleaned up the grass fields and water. Which has already made for some fantastic fall fishing and will make this winter […]

Hurricane Irma’s affects on the future of Orlando’s Lake Toho

This is Captain Jackson owner and operator of AJ’s Freelancer Bass Guide service with a short update post hurricane Irma.

The start of what could be a historic year for Lake Toho bass fishing

The weathermen are calling it! They’re saying it’s going to be a warm winter here in Florida. While I’m sure the weathermen are disappointed, all of the fishermen are excited. Because warm weather in the winter means good fishing, and especially good bass fishing. While bass fishing here in Florida is still amazing during the cold parts of winter, it can be exceptional during the warm parts. Because that is when massive waves of Florida pot bellys move up to the spawning flats, where there locations are very predictable and they become easier to catch. Due to the warm weather […]
