69 Lakeview Drive
Kissimmee, FL, United States

Want to escape Orlando's busy streets and experience its most treasured natural resource? You're in the right place! Lake Toho is the #1 big bass lake in the state, and we fish it full-time. This stunning lake is conveniently located near Disney World, SeaWorld, Universal Studios, and the Orlando Convention Center.

Year after year, Lake Toho produces more bass over 10 pounds than any other lake in the country. Want proof? Just check out our pictures! At any moment, that trophy bass you've been dreaming of could be on the other end of your line. With our professional, top-of-the-line equipment, anyone can handle the fight! Lake Toho Guides even holds the record for the largest 10-pound bass ever caught on this lake.

Operating since the 1980s, Lake Toho Guides is Orlando's largest and oldest continuously-operated fishing guide service. Capt. Steve and his experienced guides have been featured on countless fishing TV shows and in Bass Magazines 11 times, as well as on ESPN, ABC Sports, CBS Sports, and FLW Outdoors.

With Lake Toho Guides, you'll be fishing aboard modern bass boats powered by 250hp Mercury engines, equipped with the latest fishing and safety gear. All fishing gear and lures are provided, but you're welcome to purchase wild shiners, the most effective bait for trophy bass.

For groups of 4 or more, we only offer live bait trips due to the risk of multiple people casting artificial lures at the same time. If you'd prefer to fish with artificial lures, please book a trip with 3 or fewer people. For larger groups, we also have pontoons available, which can be found on FishingBooker.

Lake Toho isn't just about fishing! Bring a camera to capture stunning wildlife, including bald eagles, hawks, ospreys, ducks, and even alligators.

Join the action with Lake Toho Guides and let's go fishing—you won't be disappointed!

The 3 Tardy New York’s
Half Day Trip – 4hrs on March 3, 20263 adults
We had an amazing experience fishing on Lake Toho with Galen as our guide! Even though the wind and weather unexpectedly took a turn, he never let it affect the energy of the trip. He stayed positive, adjusted our approach, and still made sure we had a great time out on the water. One of us was a beginner, we truly appreciated how patient and encouraging he was. He took the time to explain techniques clearly and made us feel comfortable and confident. He was just as understanding and accommodating with our whole group, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We’re so grateful for such a fun, memorable day and highly recommend booking a trip with Galen rain or shine, you’re in great hands! 🎣

Mini Half Day Trip – 5hrs on March 26, 20263 adults
Took a half day trip with Capt. Steve on Lake Toho! If you're looking for the man with decades of experience who does his homework then go with this guy!! Had a great day and caught lots of quality fish. The lake is beautiful and had loads of fun. Great conversation and lots of hook sets. Met in the morning right on time, boat ready to go, fishing in 5 minutes. Fish-On shortly after that!!! Can't ask for any better. I highly recommend getting a trip booked ASAP. Take sunscreen and tear 'em up!!! Kyle / California ***** five stars+

Two years in a row using this fishing charter with my daughter
2 1/2 Hour Trip – Splash & Go - 3:00 PM on March 12, 20262 adults
Captain Shawn was a wonderful guide. He even risked his own body when he had to dive across the boat when our third pole got pulled into the water by a nice bass. We lost focus on that one for a minute and as soon as he heard it going over he sprung into action and miraculously was able to grab the rod as it started to sink into the water. Im sure he came away with some bruised ribs and a sore knee but we got the bass on the boat! We would definitely recommend Captain Shawn if you’re looking for a fun time out on the water.
A proud moment for a father and daughter duo as they display a large Largemouth Bass caught while fishing on a scenic lake.

The perfect Fishing Adventure for Beginners
2 1/2 Hour Trip – Splash & Go on October 29, 20252 adults
We booked a 2.5-hour fishing trip, and the day before, Captain Devin contacted us to let us know the meeting point and offer us live bait. He recommended it, and we decided to buy it. Since we are relatively new to fishing, we weren't sure what to expect, but Captain Devin made sure we felt safe the whole time. He knew the area well and knew exactly where to find the fish. And the live bait was the best decision. We tried without it at first, but not a single fish wanted to bite. With live bait, we caught lots of bass and even a pike. Devin's patience and helpfulness made learning the basics an enjoyable experience for us. He brought all the equipment and was very helpful in reeling in the catch. We had a great time on the water, caught lots of fish, which were released after a nice photo with us! This was one of the highlights of our vacation! From start to finish, the entire experience with our captain was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better day or a better guide. If you're looking for a truly enjoyable fishing trip, this is the place to be. We highly recommend this trip and are already looking forward to our next one!

2 1/2 Hour Trip – Splash & Go - 3:00 PM on December 20, 20252 adults1 child
He is a great guide. Educated us on how to properly use rods and how to secure bait of hook. He educated us some wildlife around the lake. Took us to a few spots to try out. he managed his time perfectly. if one soot was not working out he moved to next spot until we got to the spot where the fish started biting the bait. Things got a little crazy but he managed to get everything under control. He made everyone of us feel special each of had our own rod and bait. GREAT GUY AND WILL BOOK AGAIN.
