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. If you haven’t seen our first update the Orlando fishing has become very active since the hurricane. It was actually a benefit to the lake and the Corp of engineers in the state of Florida have opened the locks up dumping water out of all the lakes which has created fast moving water down by the locks at the South end of the lake.

Lake Toho’s Fishing is Heating Up!

That’s right! The fishing is on right now on Lake Toho, it’s the best bass fishing in Floirda and if you’re not fishing hydrilla or moving water than you’re just missing out!

Not All Cold Fronts Are Bad?

Not all cold fronts are bad? Yup, that’s right. I’ve seen it before and this latest cold front proves it again that some cold fronts actually help the fishing. This latest cold front is another example. The week before the front we had a slight lull in the fishing. The days prior to the front the fishing increased like normal. But it was after the front came through that the unexpected happened. The fishing went lights out and all of our guides began hoisting in multiple giant Toho bass each day (collage above). A 12 pound 9 ounce behemoth was […]

How Weather Affects Fishing

Old timers usually have a few choice things to say about the best times to fish. Weather plays a big role in whether the fishing will be good on a given day. Weather Conditions While some weather patterns spell good fortune, other are bad omens for anglers. Fronts As cold fronts move in, they bring higher atmospheric pressure. With high pressure comes sluggish fish who’ll be disinterested in biting. Generally, fish will be sluggish for a few days after a storm moves out. Conversely, warm fronts bring lower pressure and storms, and that means good fishing. Low-pressure fronts will cause […]
