Bass Fishing Florida

World Class Florida Bass Fishing!

Lake Jackson Bass Fishing

We have been doing a lot of bass fishing on Lake Jackson which is just south of Saint Cloud Florida. This body of water has a lot of lily pad coverage and some very healthy hydrilla. This combination means for some great bass fishing. Artificial baits have been doing very good out here and you can really catch some good numbers from one to three pound bass. But don’t be fooled, this place has a good amount of big bass as well. October 1st 2010 saw a ten pound bass come over the side of the boat using a Strike King Red Eye Shad and several bass in the six pound range have also been caught using live wild shiners as well as artificial lures.

The two bass boated in this video are only two of the twenty five bass I caught that day using a mix of artificial baits. Strike King Red Eye Shads, Spro baits, Bass Pro Shops Stick O baits and flukes have been great baits to use out here. For the soft plastic lures, junebug and watermelon red have been very good colors. I have also been using some of my own hand poured worms out here and they have been really banging some good numbers as well. The worms I have been using are roughly 4 ½ inch worms with a small bullet weight and just slowly crawling them along the bottom and pulled thru the hydrilla. This has been the hot ticket to catching not only the numbers, but some quality three and four pound bass as well.

With the cooler weather the spinner bait bite has been turning on very good as well. Slow rolled thru the lily pads has been great, as the bass have been stacking up in these areas and have been hitting the spinner baits very aggressively. We have had some success with swim baits out here as well. The Lake Fork Live Magic Shad has caught some very nice bass, so don’t shy away from using swim baits.

 

Lake Toho and Kissimmee Chain October 1st 2010

Lake Toho Bass Fishing and Kissimmee Chain Bass Fishing

Lake Toho Trophy Bass FishingThe bass fishing on Lake Toho and the Kissimmee Chain has been great for us. Live wild shiners of course have always been a good bet to catching some good numbers as well as size, but I gotta tell you folks, we have been slamming some good numbers as well as size with artificial baits.

Our main baits as of late have been a good mix with senko type baits, speed craws, spinner baits, stike king red eye shads, and the one that woke up the sleeping giant the first day of October was the Azuma Shaker Z.

One main area we have been working has a good spam of lily pads with a bunch of scattered grasses and hydrilla and it has been holding a ton of bass. Working the Azuma Shaker Z around the grasses and just above the hydrilla produced some good numbers, as well as this toad of a bass. We had spotted a few other huge blowups in the water but they were just out of casting distance, but I tell ya, they were bass just as big as this trophy bass.

Soft plastics had produced several smaller bass as well as two bass that were four pounds plus, and they fought like champs. The air temperature as well as the water temperatures are finally cooling down and it has been triggering a pretty good feed from the bass. The day started out with the water surface temp right at 76 degrees and made for some good bass fishing. This coming week is looking like much cooler temps over night as well as during the day, and this will only benefit the bass fishing action in a positive way.

Several more runs out on the Kissimmee Chain coming up so check back often for new reposrts and updates.

Lake Toho and Kissimmee Chain Bass Fishing

We hit the kissimmee chain for some bass fishing. Frankie Viola, professional Baseball player and host of Reel Fishing along with Jimmie our camera/web guy had a blast catching a ton of great bass. Here i am with a sweet trophy bass caught on a stike king red eye shad. This bass hit the lure like a freight train.

Bass fishing in Florida, hot and no breeze to speak of. Typically many anglers would run from a lake in these conditions. Everyone wants to bass fish and catch plenty of bass, but to many anglers they feel these conditions are not the best to catch numbers or size. This is where it comes in handy knowing the waters you fish and how to fish them.

Here in Florida, bass fishing is a year round thing and the big gals can take your offerings on any given day, or any given cast regardless of the weather conditions. This day we were out on Lake Jackson, which is a part of the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, but very rarely talked about. Many years ago, this was the place to be to catch big trophy bass, as well as landing some great numbers of bass.

Like many lakes over the years, some that get excessive fishing pressure will fold to that pressure and everybody moves on to the next body of water. This is one of those lakes, like Lake Walk in Water, that is now making a nice come back and fishing has been picking up very nicely. Not only good numbers, but size as well.

This great bass fishing lake is only 1,020 acres in size and you have to drive down a long and sometimes pretty rough dirt and gravel road to what I must admit is probably not the best ramp in the world, but there is some great bass fishing out here. Along with some great bass fishing, you can also see some good sized alligators, Bald Eagles and much more wildlife than most lakes here in Florida.

If you’re thinking about Orlando Bass Fishing, Lake Toho Bass Fishing or Central Florida Bass Fishing, feel free to give me a call. I will be more than happy to take you out on the water for a day of some great bass fishing, or if it’s just information you need, I will answer your questions.

 

 

Lake Toho Bass Fishing Report June 13th

Lake Toho Bass Fishing

lake toho bass fishingBass fishing on East Lake Toho has been doing great. Schooling activity had slowed down first thing in the morning for us, and towards the end of the week the bass were a little more scattered out than in previous trips.

Strike King Redeye Shad still has been the bait of choice out here. Tonya had been a real trooper tossing this bait around, while her husband Mike had missed a few as they shook off close to the boat, and a few others following him all the way back to the boat.

Mike was catching a few scattered around when we heard Tonya say she had one on. We both turned and looked and sure enough, she had the big gal of the day right next to the boat, after a few serious head shakes from this gal, we had her in the net and snapping pictures of her.  This bass came in easily between 5 ½ and 6 pounds.

East Lake Toho Bass Fishing

lake toho bass fishingBefore I got married on June 6th of this year, I had some fun time on the water with my son. We managed to spend some time on East Lake Toho tossing around Strike King Redeye Shads and senko type baits. We managed to boat a few good solid bass even in the heat of the day. Most of our action came on the East side of the lake around the offshore grasses and some around the reeds.

West Lake Toho has been on fire as far as big bass being caught. This insane weather pattern we had to start the year off had changed all the normal typical patterns, prespawn, spawn and post spawn so the big bass fishing action has continued later into the season than usual.
