Lake Toho Bass Fishing. Bobs Birthday and this is just one of the bass he caught. Using wild shiners, Bobs first cast of the day landed this nice largemouth bass for him.
Lake Toho Bass fishing is always a blast, especially with live wild shiners. This day had started out in an area very close to the main ramp, as we had a very thick fog to start the day. This was the first time ever for Bob on Lake Toho so Bob and my son Corey wanted to use wild shiners, this way Bob would have the best chance at some good numbers of bass on his Birthday.
The area we started in was an area that had a lot of hydrilla just below the surface and was in scattered patches, allowing me to slow troll the live bait weaving them thru the brakes in the hydrilla. One thing is for sure, it does not matter if its overcast or hot, sunny or foggy, you can usually find bass around hydrilla as bait fish will hide in the hydrilla for cover from the much fast moving largemouth bass.
Today the bass were definitely in a feeding mode, as Bob and Corey caught a bunch of Lake Toho bass and had a blast doing. Nothing makes a birthday better than a nice relaxing day out on the waters of Central Florida catching bass.
Lake Toho as well as several other lakes in the area are with 20 minutes of all three major theme parks here in Florida. Some of the best Disney area bass fishing is on Lake Toho as well as the Butler Chain of Lakes, both of which can not only produce some good numbers of bass, but some great size as well.
So if you’re here on vacation and need that break from the long lines at the theme parks, give us a call and enjoy some great bass fishing in Central Florida
June is the start of our heat, and most people think the bass fishing season is over. This is far from the truth. Early morning action is still very good. Live wild shiners will still get good numbers of bass and some scattered size to five pounds. As the temperatures warm up during the day, the bite will get more scattered, but with targeted casting you can still catch largemouth bass during the heat of the day.
Lake Toho bass fishing is world famous for catching trophy bass, even during the summer months. This is where flipping and pitching will come in handy. Your focus in the heat of the day will turn to focusing on grass beds and floating mats, either punching thru or pitching your baits into “potholes” to target trophy bass. Idea baits are creature baits and tube baits.
With the weather calming down, cold fronts, or even cool fronts now a thing of the past, our water temperatures are now starting to warm up steadily. Early morning schooling action will be very common on Lakes Toho, Butler Chain and Johns Lake. Prop baits, torpedoes, buzz baits and toads will be very good early morning producers for some quality bass.
Grass beds and hydrilla will be very good areas to target using worms, senko type baits, spinner baits and shallow running crank baits. Depending on the body of water, docks will be holding bass as usual and typically some good quality largemouth bass.
Schooling bass fishing action is still here! Early morning top water action is usually off the hook. Even as the day warms up, you will still be able to get some top water action going. The spinner bait bite is a good bet for catching bass throughout the day, as well as using rattle traps and steel shad. This time of year is great bass fishing for everyone. Air temperatures are perfect, not too cool, and not too warm and water temperatures are very stable, making the bass fishing action good.
Lake Toho will see a lot of boat traffic, as everyone is really having a great time catching bass, and for those who just want to relax, the shiner bite is always good, but keep in mind you don’t always get to just relax, because the bass will be hammering those shiners!
Bass Fishing the first part of December started out great on Lake Toho. Three days of bass fishing with Paul Fisler and HM1 Shane Gilley proved to be eventful and a lot of fun.
Paul started Day one out, showing me his new spinner bait from Holeshottackle.com, and on the first cast of the day got the hook up. After that we spent the majority of the time catching bass with the shad. We had one main area that we fished every morning with great success, bass played very good and kept the action steady every day. Once this action died off, we moved around working Gene Larew craws catching bass scattered across the southern end of lake toho. Tried some senko type baits but got no action with them, and managed only one follow on a Gambler Flappin Shad. Despite higher winds on Wednesday, we still caught bass scattered on toho, using steel shad, with Shane basically just trolling one behind the boat. For the most part, the bite with soft plastics with a very light one, as Shane’s big bass just picked up the bait and swam towards the boat with it before he realized he had something on the line.
