Lake Toho, Temperatures are Dropping!
Lake Toho, Temperatures are Dropping!
November 28, 2023
As the cool weather heads south over Lake Toho, the bait around the lake has woken up. This causes a feeding frenzy of bass, schooling up on large numbers of shad. We’re averaging catching 20-30 bass on just our 4-hour trips and as always, when bass are feeding heavily on shad, the topwater bite is on also. One ramp in particular, Big Toho Marina, is holding large schools of shad with bass chasing them right inside the marina walls. We don’t need to go far to catch them right now. Out in the lake, the most consistent areas you can get bit in right now are on the few shell beds the lake has to offer. Bass have been chasing Shad nearly every day in these areas. The other areas have been solid edges of hydrilla and Kissimmee grass lines. It usually doesn’t take long for the bait and bass in the area to show themselves if they’re there. After fishing 20mins if you haven’t seen any bait or bass chasing them, just move. Early the topwater bite has been on everyone's favorite, Spooks, Whoppers, and frog baits. But after the morning flurry is over. Flukes, jerk baits, speedworms, and spinnerbaits have all been producing. And when the morning shad spawn ends late morning to mid-day. Flipping the thicker grass back inside where the shad was spawning earlier has been catching fish when nothing else will. Of course, as always the biggest bass and the bulk of the numbers we’re catching on our guide trips lately have all been off of large golden shiners. But this can be a particularly fun time of year for artificials with the early topwater bite added in. The fishing on Lake Toho has remained excellent, but coming into primetime and if you’re looking to bass fish in the fall or in the winter, I would definitely recommend booking now while you still can, as its booking up fast!

Lake Toho Fall Fishing Report
Lake Toho Fall Fishing Report
November 13, 2023
As the cool weather of fall settles over Lake Toho, the bait throughout the lake have woken up. Mainly the shad, which have begun to spawn in different areas of the lake. This has caused a feeding frenzy of bass schooling up in large numbers. We’re averaging catching 20-30 bass on just our 4 hour trips and as always, when bass are feeding heavily on shad, the topwater bite is on also. The main area’s that this has been going on are shell beds and solid hydrilla and kissimmee grass lines. The shad like to spawn on hard edges and that means even boat ramps. The solid concrete edge of a boat ramp provides excellent space for the shad to spawn. One ramp in particular, Big Toho Marina, is holding large schools of shad with bass chasing them right inside the marina walls. You don’t need to go far to catch them right now. Out in the lake the most consistent areas you can get bit in right now are on the few shell beds the lake has to offer. Bass have been chasing shad nearly everyday in these areas. The other areas have been solid edges of hydrilla and kissimmee grass lines. These have been harder to find because there’s so many of them and not all are holding fish. But when you locate one that’s active, you can really find something special. The best way to find these areas is just to keep moving. It usually doesn’t take long for the bait and bass in the area to show themselves if they’re there. After fishing 20mins if you haven’t seen any bait or bass chasing them, just move. Early the topwater bite has been on. Spook style baits, whopper ploppers, and frogs have all been working. I just recently wrote a blog about The 5 best topwater lures for catching bass in Florida if you would like to check it out. This is one of the best times of year for topwater. But after the morning flurry is over. Flukes, jerkbaits, speedworms, and spinnerbaits have all been producing. And when the morning shad spawn ends late morning to mid day. Flipping the thicker grass back inside where the shad were spawning earlier has been catching fish when nothing else will.

But this can be a particularly fun time of year for artificials with the early topwater bite added in. The fishing on Lake Toho has remained excellent all year and if you’re looking to bass fish Florida’s lake Toho in the fall or in the winter, I would definitely recommend booking now while you still can.

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.

It was a bit cold, but the sun came out a few times and it was fine. As long as you dress accordingly, you will be fine.

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'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.

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.

Get plenty of shiners. Depending on weather book a half day trip. Morning bite was the best.
