BASS FISHING IN ORLANDO

June-August 2008
We are in the midst of the Summer Season and the fishing on Lake Toho is doing very
well. As expected the artificial bite has picked up especially first thing in the morning
and again in the evening with some exciting topwater action providing most of the bass.
Live bait is doing well also with catches anywhere from 10-20 during our 4 hour trips. But
talk is cheap so here are some pictures from recent trips. Will you be on my boat when
the big one bites?

April-May 2008 Orlando Bass Fishing Report for Lake Toho
The month of April was an interesting month here in Orlando as much like last year
we saw warmer weather for the first two weeks of the month and then cooler weather on
the last half of the month. The bass were definitely pushed out of there spawning mode
and probably quite confused with the up and down weather patterns for the month.
Fishing was still very productive with quality numbers being caught but females were few
and far between. The artificial bite has been picking up catching better numbers than live
bait with some excellent topwater activity adding to the excitement. May looks to be an
excellent month with water levels falling concentrating the fish much better.

March 2008 Bass Fishing Report-

March was almost identical to the bass fishing we experienced last year here in Orlando Florida.
Phenominal bass fishing with many of my clients catching their biggest fish ever. Weather was
somewhat windy and we had plenty of cold fronts but not much slowed my fish down as you can
see from the photos below. Catches ranged from 10 to 30 bass per day with almost every client

boating one fish over 6lbs each day. Although not many local anglers believed our bass were
spawning my clients have been catching female bass since about November. I expect the spawning
trend to continue for at least another month and a half so if you are thinking of coming down for a
trip contact me for availability. The upcoming months are generally very good for throwing artificial

lures especially if you like seeing big bass slamming your bait on the surface!

January - February 2008 Bass Fishing Report-

I thought it would be a good idea to update those interested on how the bass fishing has been
here in Orlando. While it has been a pretty cold winter so far by Florida standards the bass fishing
has been very steady with plenty of 30 fish days to keep my clients busy on Lake Toho. I have
been running my guide trips on Lake Toho every day and while a majority of other guides are
going to other lakes for various reasons I have not had a reason to come off of Lake Toho. I am

recommending live bait for most of my trips right now as this is the time of year that live bait out
produces artificial lures for numbers and size of bass.

November - December Report 2007-

The bass fishing is on fire for my clients here in Orlando with catches of up to 30 fish on 6 hour
trips. The weather and water temps are ahead of schedule and have turned the bass bite on here
at Lake Toho. Starting early and being in the right place at the right time is key for best results. Live
bait right now is producing the best results for my clients but the combo trips of Live bait then
artificial lure fishing in the afternoon has been great as the weather after 10:00 a.m. is beautiful.

October is when the excitement begins for our Fall bass fishing season here in Orlando
Florida as the first cold fronts of the year start to roll down from Canada Southbound. Like
most of the Country it has been a warm Summer here in Orlando keeping the bass to very

short feeding times in the early morning and then again in the evening. This should take a

drastic turn for the better once we get into October and water temperatures begin to slowly

fall. If you have not experienced the rush of seeing hundreds of bass feeding on the surface
then you will want to be here this Fall. The weather will be great and the bass fishing should

be off the hook so give me a call and make your plans to get into some great Fall bass
fishing here in Orlando!

June - August 2007

The Summer Season is upon us and my clients have been having a great time during their

trips. As is typical for Summer bass fishing the morning bite has been the most productive
with the topwater bite being very aggressive for about the first two hours. After that we are

using sub-surface lures and slowing down the presentations to get strikes. Average catches
for the artificial trips is all over the board as the weather seems to change daily. The live

bait trips are also doing well and have been accounting for some of my clients better catches.

Right now I am recommending 6 hours for my trips as this generally is the most productive
length of time to be on the water. The weather actually has been rather mild with morning
temps running 73-75 and then the highs around 91-94. If you would like to experience some

great Summertime bass fishing here in Orlando feel free to give me a call and set up a trip.

April - May 2007
The last two months has been great on Lake Toho as the bass fishing continues to be very
impressive with clients catching numerous bass up to 9lbs with live bait and quite a few
bass coming on artificials up to 7lbs. Average catches for my clients has been 15-20 bass
per 6 hour trips with the occassional catch up to 30. The evening trips have been doing very
well with catches around 10 - 15 in 3 hours with the topwater bite picking up and adding to
the excitement. The water temps on Lake Toho are staying in the 70's and water clarity might
be the best I've seen it at this time of the year in quite some time. The weather here in Orlando
had started off the month rather hot but has returned to normal with the highs around 80.

March 2007
It's been another great month here in Orlando as the fishing on Lake Toho continues to be on
fire. First I finished 21st in the Bassmaster Tour stop here on the Kissimme Chain out of 195

boats. Then the fish moved from their spawning areas to deeper water as the air temperatures
have been much warmer but the fishing has remained excellent. High winds have been the
biggest challenge so far this month and will probably continue to blow through April. The artificial
bite definitely picked up as the fish are biting consistently thoughout the day and this months big
fish on artificials is now at 9lbs. The bass have been feeding very aggressively on live bait in
the mornings and slowing down as we get into the later hours of the day. Look for April to be a
great month as we move into our Summer season.

January - February 2007
What I did during my Winter Bass Guide Season!!!!!!!! As I have been booked solid through March I
have not updated my fishing reports page so this will cover January and February. What a first
two months of the year this has been! Every day has been something new as we have put quite
a few big bass in the boat and have had some get away as clients have gotten a crash course on
shallow water bass fishing and got SCHOOLED by some big fish! The weather has been for the most
part mild allowing for some really consistent fishing and every client having that opportunity at
a trophy bass. The bigger bass are still being caught on live bait but this is somewhat typical this
time of year and unfortunately my clients that have not chosen live bait have missed out as the big
fish so far for artificial lures has been 7lbs. A nice fish for sure, but not a trophy. If you are going
to be in the Orlando area in the upcoming months and would like to find out what Florida Big Bass
Fishing is all about give me a call!
