Lake Toho and Kissimmee Chain Bass Fishing
Early morning action has been doing great out on the Kissimmee Chain Of Lakes. Lake Toho and Lake Cypress have been our main focal points.
Using various ramps on the chain to help keep run time on the water down, and giving us the ability to hit some spots earlier have been a key. Gobblets Cove has still been producing some quality bass for us, as well as flipping along Shingle Creek.
Main lake areas with hydrilla have been producing with red eye shads and spinner baits. Zoom speed craws as well as Strike King Shim E Sticks in green pumpkin have been excellent producers. Some key areas to focus on have been areas with scattered grasses with lily pads.
With water flow coming thru the river, my usual areas on Lake Cypress have been holding some schooling bass, this is always a blast, as we can pretty much toss whatever we want to catch them. This allows my clients the fun of tossing everything from senko type baits to wake baits. My live bait trips have been very few as of late, which has not been a problem, as the bass have played pretty good using the artificial baits.

Lake Toho bass fishing has been doing very good despite the much warmer weather we have finally been enjoying.
Crankbaits have also been doing very good for us. Strike King Red Eye Shads have been catching some quality bass as well as some good numbers. Cotton Cordells have been very good all the way up in Gobblets Cove, especially around hydrilla. North end of the lake, all the way up by Neptune road saw some mid day schooling action, but of course they were just out of reach for us, and disappeared just as fast as they showed up.
Hit the waters of East Lake Toho for a few hours this morning with Jack.
Got an early start this morning out on Lake Toho. The guys wanted to use live bait today so we meet up at Lake Toho Marina and grabbed a couple dozen wild shiners. We had hit a few areas that had been producing bass for us, mostly on the northern end of Lake Toho. We had a couple misses working the grass lines along Lakeshore drive, before we moved over to Gobblets Cove. Some very good hydrilla out here holding some quality bass along the edges. Pitching the shiners next to the edges is always a good bet.
Bass fishing on Lake Toho the first week of April was great
Mid lake area of Lake Toho has seen some scattered catching for us, most of the bass
The end of March had seen some very good bass fishing action.
The mouth of the canal to Lake Blanche had a few bass beds right along the shoreline, with a few scattered bass on them, and after tossing everything but the kitchen sink at them, including a wild shiner, these bass wanted nothing to do with our offerings, so we moved into the main lake, where once again it was the secondary grass beds, with a good mixture of hydrilla where the bass were holding tight to.
A couple trips to Lake Toho also produced some good action. Most of our time on Lake Toho has been spent in Gobblets Cove and in Friars Cove. Beds were scattered all over the place, with nothing on them, but the females were cruising the areas and very finicky with the bite. Trick worms and blade baits were great for some very good catching, and keeping the bite steady during the day. Running spinner baits thru the thinner areas of lily pads also produced some quality bass. Waters are warming up very nicely now, and we are seeing a lot of bait fish bunching up, which has been giving way to some very good schooling activity. Its top water time folks!!
Mid March has seen some great bass fishing action. This stretch has been split up between Lake Toho and Butler Chain.
One very often overlooked tactic by many is as you slow troll some live bait off the back of the boat, you can also flip one into pot holes in the grasses or tight up against lily pads or reeds. All too often, this over looked option can keep the bass catching action going steady during the day.
