Central Florida Bass Fishing

Lake Toho Bass Fishing

Lake Toho has been fishing pretty good for us. All artificial fishing trips out here for us as of late and the bass have been playing good for us. Bass we have been targeting have been hanging around scattered grass and hydrilla mostly on the northern end of the lake. Flukes and senko type baits have been great baits to use, as well as spinner baits and early morning the top water plugs have also been very good for us. We have been getting some limited action on swim baits




Lake Jackson Bass Fishing

 We have been doing pretty good out on Lake Jackson. Wild shiners have been catching a lot of bass out here and some good sized bass as well. Steve came out with us today for a couple hours of some of Florida’s best bass fishing and did it all with artificial lures. Numbers were down some but believe me the smiles Steve had when he caught his new personal best just over six pounds on a senko type bait made for a great day. This toad did a lot of jumping and put on a great show for Steve today. Early morning bite remains the best action as things will slow down some close to high noon. This does not mean fishing is off, just means we slow down the presentation and target certain areas a little harder to keep catching the bass!

Lake Kenansville

Lake Kenansville bass Caught on a Coffee Tube

Today we spent the day doing some scouting out on Lake Kenansville. The day started out very tough, visibility wise as the fog finally burned off right about 10:15. Waters were low and several areas of the lake were choked out with hydrilla. Water temperatures started out right at 69.6 degrees and warmed up to 72 before we pulled off the water around 1pm.


We worked several lures today, ranging from spinner baits to tube baits to entice the bass to bite, and they played fairly well out here for us. Spinner baits and the red eye shad seemed to draw the most attention for sure, but we did manage a few with the tube baits with coffee scent.

Main areas that we worked were areas that were very heavy with hydrilla and scattered reeds. Bass seemed to relate more to the windy side of the matted out areas and would either take your bait real gently, just picking it up and swimming off slowly, or they smacked it hard. Strike King Coffee Tubes were a great addition to the boat for the day as they did boat some good bass. We caught a bunch but all were of schooling sized bass, but it made for a great day on the water.

We did see several other boats out there today, with most of them crappie fishing, and they all seemed to be catching not only some good numbers but some good sized slabs as well.

Lake Jackson Bass Fishing

Bass fishing has been holding steady here in Central Florida. Most of our trips have been on Lake Jackson as of late for one good reason. The bass fishing has been off the hook. Even with higher winds the bass have still been playing great for us. Live wild shiners pitched to the edges of the lily pads have been not only producing good numbers of bass, but some good size as well.

This tactic has been producing 30 to 40 bass in a four hour trip. Artificial baits have also been hammering some good bass. Spinner baits have been catching some very good quality bass as well as swim baits. Big bass on swim bait was just shy of six pounds and spinner baits have been popping bass up to five pounds. This cooler weather has really had the bass actively feeding at a steady pace pretty much all day long.

Key factors have been to stay close to lily pads and work the healthier hydrilla. Bass have been holding tight to these areas and aggressively smacking the live and artificial baits. More cooler weather to come, and things are shaping up very nicely for a great bass fishing season.
