Topwater Safari on Lake Toho
Lake Toho is one of the best bass fishing lakes in the world, so many giant bass caught here every year. Lake Toho has held some historic bass fishing tournaments over the years, including the single day Bassmaster total weight record.
You will be fishing a brand new 2025 Xpress X21. This boat is fully rigged out with 10 foot power pole anchors to keep up locked in place when fishing a good spot. The boat has live sonar technology with the best livescope system, and the biggest livescope screen on the market. Watch your lure and bass react to it in live time on a 22 inch screen.
Live bait: wild caught golden shiners from lake Toho is my favorite and definitely the best way to catch a gaint Florida bass. The fish cant resist it! Its so fun mixing live bait with live sonar technology. To watch the shiner swim around on the screen and then watch a group of bass come up to it and eat it is one of the coolest things! I love to throw topwater baits like spooks and frogs first thing in the morning snd when the sun is setting. If live bait isn’t your jam (which I’m telling you is so much fun) we can try can try and trick a few on artificial lures. As a tournament fisherman I am pretty versitile and spend a lot of time on lake Toho trying to trick them with lures. We would do a mix of topwater fishing, power fishing with chatterbaits and speedworms, flipping, dragging a worm, shaking a minnow use finesse tactics like a weightless fluke or senko up shallow.
Lake Toho is also one of the prettiest and most wild lakes I have been on, between big gators and exotic birds, there is plenty to see and experience!
Hope to see you on the water! Message me for more information!

Paul CreccaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Captain, Great Boat, Great Fishing on the Beautiful SLR
Half Day Pike Fishing St Lawrence on August 29, 2026 • 1 adultHad a great time fishing with Capt. Max. As the Bass Master Elite Tournament was on the SLR this day, it was only appropriate we focused on Smallies, and we had excellent success. We fished rocky shoals mid-river, rocky island points and steep rock drop-offs, all of which were holding nice Smallies. SLR Smallmouth Bass are super strong having to swim against the strong river current their entire lives, so the fight on a medium light fishing rod is truly exciting. I will fish with Capt. Max again.
Justin UgaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedIncredible day in the water!
8 Hour Trip – Bass fishing on March 31, 2026 • 1 adultCaptain Max is one of the most genuine, intelligent people I have ever met. Throughout the entire trip he ensured that myself and my friend were well taken care of. We blew through 8 dozen shiners as he constantly put us on fish. Not one, but 2 PBs were broken. As a photographer as well, he took time out of his day to drive around to different locations looking for wildlife to make the memories even better. I could not recommend Topwater Safari enough, I will 10000% be booking with Max again.
Colton Smith5.0VerifiedFirst fresh water trip in Flordia
4 Hour Trip – Bass fishing on March 4, 2026 • 2 adultsI have done salt water charters before this was my first time doing a freshwater charter for bass and it was amazing. we caught bass right away at the first spot and hooked into a few one right after the other on the shiners. Our captain Max was also very knowledgeable about the birds so as my group was catching fish we also got to learn about the different birds around us. No big trophy fish but cant have everything in a fishing trip or it would be a catching trip.
jonathan Rickard5.0VerifiedGreat fishing Experience with Captain Max
2 Hour Trip – Sunrise/Sunset on March 5, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Max is a very knowledgeable and great fisherman on the Lake and put me on some great fish. He is very professional and having the right equipment for the trip between the live shinners to the Topwater lures. I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants to catch some fish. Thanks again Max I’ll be fishing with you again next time I’m down.
Lori Cornwell5.0VerifiedSo Much Fun!!
2 Hour Trip – Sunrise/Sunset - 5:00 PM on March 30, 2026 • 2 adultsMy daughter and I went with Max and we were his first “only girls” trip. He made it so fun and was so great with helping us with everything. He is very knowledgeable and is a great fishing guide. And he is so friendly and personable. I highly recommend that others choose his tour and if you are “just girls” like us, definitely go!!
