Fishing in Kissimmee

If you’re looking to join a trip with one of the legendary Kissimmee fishing guides, you’re probably after some trophy-sized Bass. If that’s so, you’re in luck. The Kissimmee Chain of Lakes Area (KCOLA) is one of the most bountiful inshore fisheries you can find in Central Florida. Pick one of two dozen different bodies of water and cast your line!

Hundreds of avid anglers flock to these fishing grounds every year to snatch their next wall-hanger Bass that can weigh up to 25 pounds. The Bass fishing Kissimmee has to offer is second to none and, aside from impressive-sized Largemouth Bass, these waters also hold healthy Bluegill, Shellcracker, and Crappie populations.

Depending on how much time you want to spend on the water chasing your trophy catch, you’ll be able to choose from various trip options. Going out for a full day trip is typically reserved for the most passionate trophy chasers. When it comes to half day expeditions, those are mostly family- and novice-friendly options.

With so many areas to explore and admire, it’s hard to know where to begin. A local fishing guide is your fastest way to a productive spot and finding one should be an easy task in Kissimmee. Although guides are spread out throughout the area, a good place to begin your search would be the Kissimmee Lakefront Park.

Rules & Regulations

Before you head out, you’ll need to get a valid freshwater fishing license, and there are several types to choose from depending on your state of residence and license length. Also, keep in mind that Largemouth Bass are subject to strict bag limits that change each year.

Kissimmee Fishing Seasons

January

The weather might be cold, but the bite is hot. Fishing for Largemouth Bass is excellent, and Crappie isn't holding off either. At the end of the month, the Florida Bass Federation Tour is kicking off on Lake Okeechobee.

February

Bass Master Classic is taking place on Kissimmee Lake at the beginning of February. Bass are moving to shallow waters for spawning, and this where you will have the best luck hooking them.

March

As the weather is getting warmer, Largemouth Bass move to spawn in deeper waters, and sandy areas are their favorite hiding spot. The end of March also brings Shellcracker to the map.

April

Look for Bluegill and Shellcracker in skinny waters this month, and don’t forget about great Crappie fishing. Bass spawning season is at its end, but you can snag a big one in cooler waters.

May

Go exploring around hydrilla patches and catch brag-worthy Bass. Bluegill are finding their way to the shallows, while Crappie is chilling in the open water.

June

Temperatures are rising, which means Bass are fleeing to the open water. Casting your line around aquatic vegetation is your best option. Crappie is also hanging in deeper waters.

July

Go to West Lake Toho to catch the best Bass bite. The waters are low, temperatures are high, and Bass are schooling around Kissimmee grass and hydrilla. Shellcracker, Bluegill, and Catfish are also swimming around.

August

You should head out before sunrise to snag the best Largemouth Bass and outrun the heat. Bluegill are responding well to flies, while Crappie is still hanging in the open water.

September

If you’re going fishing in Kissimmee in September, you will find Bass around shell beds, waiting for small fish to swim by. Bluegill, Shellcracker, and Crappie are all staying in the open waters.

October

The colder weather brings the peak of the fall Bass run! East and West Toho Lakes are teeming with Bass, so head out and catch them all!

November

This month is bringing colder weather, so you should look for trophy Bass in the shallow, warmer waters. The spawning period is fast approaching, giving you plenty of opportunities to catch and release something big.

December

Bass are getting big in preparation for the spawning season, and this is your chance to snag one or several! You will find them in shallow waters around vegetation, while Crappie still prefers the open water.

Great time to fish. Weather is nice and comfortable so can fish in the morning or in the afternoon or both. I would bring sunscreen, sunglasses and some extra layers to wear in the early morning hours.

If you fish in January bring a wide range of clothes. It was in the 70s and dry on Saturday, then cold and rainy on Sunday. Also, if your Captain says you should buy extra bait, listen to them. If we hadn't bought extra, we may have ran out before we got to one of our best spots of the day.

Consider a hat, sunglasses, and maybe even a sweater, because when you get out on the lake, if it’s windy, you’ll be glad you have it!

October is hit or miss. You probably won’t catch the most or the biggest fish in Oct but it can still be good.

It was our first time as well we had a blast!! Got on fish fast and hammered them I blew my mind on the amount of quality fish we caught we literally almost had 20lbs in just two fish we caught so many I was blown away. Definitely recommend aj guide service.

It's hot so pack accordingly. The bigger fish really like the shiners (live bait), you can catch them on lures too but not as many and it takes longer.

A Horizon Fishing Charters – Lake Toho Columbus, OH

Don't come with the expectation of catching a monster. You may get lucky but quantity is just as good as quality IMO. May want to consider March for a bass trip in Kissimmee area as this is apparently the spawn season and a shiner drifting over their bed is irresistible. Even a bad day of fishing beats a day at work. ?

If you have kids the 2 hour trip was perfect. Go early morning as was suggested by the Captain...less hot and we were able to catch a fish less then 5 minutes from anchoring.

Take a lot of shiners, it is a live bait lake. Have fun. Some times Mother Nature changes your plans, but a bad day on a lake is still better than any day at work. (Note) This is the first trip my captain took that he only boated 3 fish.

We did our first trip back in October 2023 and it was so much fun when we returned to Kissimmee in April 2024 the first think we did was to book our 2nd trip with AJ. As before the captain explained the techniques and kept us baited up with Shinners so we were never out of the water for long. He netted all our fish for us (22 in total) including 2 Catfish for my son. As I said before we can't recommend AJ enough we will be booking our 3rd trip with him when we return to Florida.

Decided on a bass fishing trip for Spring Break. Unfortunate for us, we went out the day after a cold front came through. The wind was tough, but our Capt, Capt John, knew where the fish were, what they were biting, and we had a blast. We caught nice sized fish when most people were not catching any. My son said afterwards it was the best Bass trip he has had and glad we braved the wind.

Despite the windy weather and regardless of the poor fish eating at the beginning, after persistent efforts by the guide, we caught several good-sized fish. Thanks to Captain Taylor for trying hard so that everyone in the group got their own catches

4 hour trip using shiners. Caught 10-14 fish with a few in the 3-4lb range. Definitely missed/lost a few larger fish getting used to setting hook in shallow water versus deep. Lot of fun, would go again with this group.

We had an absolute riot with Mike Groshon! I cannot say enough great thinks about our experience. He was so great with all of us teaching tips and letting my kids pick his brain. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge. We are coming back next year and will fish with Mike only. Do yourself a favor and get on a boat with him. Book early and plan ahead.

Had a great morning fishing with my sons. Captain Steve knew exactly where to go to put us on the fish. Within 10-15 minutes we were catching bass. Twice both boys had fish on their lines at the same time! The three of us caught over 20 largemouth bass and 1 gar. Captain Steve also kept on eye on the weather and knew when to move to avoid the rain, although we didn’t mind getting wet. Would definitely recommend and book again when I’m in the area.

Between three of us, we caught over 20 fish in about 3 hours, lots of fun. Bill knew exactly where to go and what bait to use. We caught 3 different species of fish, mostly large mouth bass. I highly recommend him. We’ll definitely use him next time we come down here on vacation.
