Joseph Sunde5.0VerifiedOdličan izlet!
4 Hour Trip • 2 adultsImali smo odličan ribolov basa sa AJ's Bass Guides, a naš vodič, kapetan Jon, bio je izvanredan! Ugrizi su bili definitivno retki zbog vrućeg julskog vremena, ali Jon nije prestajao da radi kako bi nas doveo do ribe. Stalno je menjao mesta, menjao taktike i radio sve što je mogao da pronađe aktivnu ribu. Njegovo znanje, upornost i pozitivan stav zaista su napravili razliku. Na kraju smo ulovili oko 16 baseva nas trojica tokom našeg izleta od 4 sata, uključujući nekoliko oko 2,3 kilograma. S obzirom na teške uslove, bili smo veoma zadovoljni kako je dan ispao. Moja dva sina su se sjajno provela i oba su se složila da je definitivno vredelo rano ustati. Ako tražite vodiča koji marljivo radi i ne odustaje kada ribolov postane težak, toplo preporučujem da rezervišete izlet sa kapetanom Jonom. Hvala na odličnom iskustvu, sigurno ćemo se vratiti!

5 Hour Trip • 2 adults • 1 childRezervisali smo izlet od 5 sati i vodio nas je kapetan Džej. Bio je odličan sa mojom ćerkom od 11 godina i pobrinuo se da se zabavi i ulovi nekoliko riba, uključujući njen lični rekord od oko 4 funte! Dan nije bio savršen, jer ni najbolji vodiči ne mogu garantovati da će riba zagristi. Ulovili smo oko 7 riba tokom izleta od 5 sati, a samo jednu tokom prvih 2 i po sata. Bilo je prilično očigledno da je u pitanju spor dan, sudeći po većini recenzija ovde i po jasno sporom početku, po svakom merilu. Džej je posumnjao/primetio da nam mamac nije bio dovoljno živ i pozvao je sveže šajnere, koje smo dobili negde na pola izleta. Nakon osvežavanja mamca i promene mesta, ugrizi su se pojačali i ulovili smo nekoliko lepih riba pri kraju dana. Propustili smo pravu grdosiju ili ogroman broj riba, ali moja klinka je ulovila više i veće largemouth bass nego ikad pre, i sjajno se provela! Šta više možete tražiti? Džej je bio veoma profesionalan, upućen i zabavan za ribolov. Svakako preporučujem ovaj izlet i rezervisao bih ponovo, ali bih se nadao da mamac bude zaista dobar i živ od samog početka, jer su ti šajneri PREVIŠE skupi da bi samo ležali tamo i ne hvatali ribu! Hvala, Džej!

Scott ScribnerRepeat angler5.0Verified⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Apsolutno neverovatno iskustvo – 34 basa i još mnogo toga!
6 Hour Trip • 4 adultsAko tražite vrhunskog vodiča, ne tražite dalje od AJ's Bass Guides. Rezervisali smo porodični izlet od 6 sati na jezeru Toho, i bukvalno smo ih poharali! AJ nas je doveo pravo na ribu. Ulovili smo ukupno 34 basa (plus nekoliko srce-paraju}ih primera koji su nam pobegli kod čamca). Pored neprekidne akcije sa largemouth basom, ulovili smo i neverovatnu raznovrsnost vrsta, uključujući longnose gar, spotted gar i ogromnog bowfin-a. AJ je fantastičan momak, odličan sagovornik, i poznaje ove vode kao svoj džep. Celu porodicu je držao angažovanom i uz pecaljku tokom celog dana. Ako ste ikako u blizini i želite da se dobro zabavite, učinite sebi uslugu i rezervišite izlet sa AJ-em – nećete biti razočarani. Znam da ćemo, kad se sledeći put nađemo u tom kraju, svakako naći vremena da se ponovo vratimo na vodu sa njim! Hvala još jednom, AJ!

5 Hour Trip • 2 adultsPa, Šta još mogu da kažem... Dok je sunce izlazilo jutros, trebalo je tačno 1 minut da ulovimo prvu ribu i akcija je samo nastavila da se odvija... Kapetan Tyler i ja smo hvatali i puštali ribe što je brže moguće čim bismo ubacili mamac u vodu. San svakog ribolovca. Hvala na odličnom danu i radujem se što ću uskoro dogovoriti još jedan izlet.

4 Hour Trip • 2 adultsKupila sam ribolovni izlet za 65. rođendan svog muža. Spektakularan dan na ribolovu. Ovo je prvi vođeni izlet na kome smo ikada bili. Definitivno bismo to ponovili. AJ je zabavan i stručan vodič. Cenim vreme koje je proveo sa nama i strpljenje koje je imao prema meni. AJ, hvala ti na nezaboravnom rođendanskom poklonu.

Lake Toho Fall fishing report
okt 4, 2026 • Kissimmee
Fall is here, and what comes with it? Great weather and good bass fishing on Lake Toho. As temps continue to come down, the bass are feeding more and more. Fall on lake Toho typically brings both good numbers of bass along with more consistent trophy size bass. They will begin to feed heavily in preparation for spawn, and even start hitting the surface schooling on shad beginning usually around mid October and it will last through December. This is the BEST and most consistent time of year for big topwater blow ups on Lake Toho.
With the bass schooling together in large groups chasing bait, we tend to catch very good numbers. Depending on the days weather, 15-25 bass days are common. And if you’re using shiners, once you run out, you can usually just keep the catching going by throwing some artificials in the same area.
For artificials, we’re typically focusing on grass edges and open water shell beds where the bass on Lake Toho are schooling up. Once you’re in one of these areas with a large group of fish, it’s usually pretty easy to catch them. A number of different lures will work. If they’re schooling on the surface, topwater spooks, whopper ploppers, jerkbaits, flukes, rattletraps, and spinnerbaits typically will get the job done. It just depends on what mood the fish are in. If they’re busting on top, use topwater, if they’re not wanting to surface as much, a jerkbait, fluke, or worm may do the trick.
There’s a lot of good submerged hydrilla, eel grass, and peppergrass on the lake right now holding bass also. For these area’s, speedworms and chatterbaits reeled across the tops of the grass have been working well. A zoom super fluke twitched down in the grass has been working well also when the moving lures aren’t.
And as I mentioned earlier, trophy sized bass begin to be caught more consistently. This is because the main reason for all this feeding is to prepare for the upcoming winter time spawn. And as the fall progresses the female bass will begin to fill up with eggs until they’re at their biggest weight of the whole year.
Fall is an excellent time of year to bass fish Lake Toho and it is also the beginning of our peak season for guiding. So if you’re looking to book a guide trip, it is best to reserve your day as early as possible.
Bass wishes,
Capt. AJ

Summer Lake Toho fishing report
jun 28, 2026 • Kissimmee
The summer heat is here and the bass fishing on Orlando's Lake Toho is heating up with it! The cooler morning bite has been the deal, as it always is at this time of year. Our captains have been averaging around 15-25 bass on our morning 4 hour charters. With bigger bass becoming more prevalent again like the 9 pound 11 ounce and 7 pounder pictured above caught with our captain Jay!
With the heat we typically get at this time of year, the bulk of the bass and especially the bigger bass are pushed off shore in the deeper grass beds and brush piles. There isn't as much submerged grass on the lake as we've had in previous years so wherever there is submerged hydrilla and eel grass there's pretty much guaranteed fish on it.
The best bite as always, has been on wild shiners. That's what the bulk of the larger bass are coming off of right now. But for artificials, zoom speedworms reeled over top of the grass and zoom flukes twitched over it have been what the bulk of the bite has been on. Chatterbaits have been working also, but only on cloudy, windier days, along with jerkbaits.
It has been a great start to the summer so far for us and with the consistent weather we get at this time of year, the great bass fishing should continue for the rest of the summer. So if you're looking to fish Lake Toho, now is a great time to book. This also has been the busiest summer ever for us as a guide service so I would recommend booking your trip as early as possible to ensure we still have availability.
Bass wishes,
Capt. AJ

Spring Lake Toho Bass Fishing Report
mar 24, 2026 • Kissimmee
Spring has sprung and so has the bite on Orlando’s Lake Toho. With the cold fronts out of the way, the temps are becoming more steady and the fish are gorging themselves now after the spawn. The bass are beginning to school and chase bait to the surface in certain areas and 20-30 fish days are becoming common!
The best bite on our charters has been on shiners, especially if you’re looking for bigger bass. But artificials have been productive also. Flukes, jerkbaits, senkos, speedworms, and topwaters in the areas the bass have been schooling have all been working well.
As we move to the summer the bass have mostly all moved offshore in submerged grass flats. Good flats of hydrilla, peppergrass, and eel grass cover the lake. Once you’re over top of one of these grass flats, just get to fishing. Nearly all of these areas throughout Toho are holding bass right now, and keep your eyes peeled, as bass have been coming up schooling occasionally throughout the lake also.
Lake Toho is setting up extremely well for the rest of the year and as the grass continues to grow throughout the summer, it should only get better.
Bass wishes,

Lake Toho Winter Fishing Report
dec 16, 2025 • Kissimmee
We finally made it, the best time of the whole year to bass fish Lake Toho is finally here. And boy is it setting up to be a good one. With some good management by the FWC and some key spraying of some of the topped out grass on the lake, Lake Toho is setting up better than it has in years for trophy bass.
This is the peak season to fish Toho mainly because of the spawn. During the months of January through March the bass on the lake begin filling up with eggs to spawn. Making the big one’s even bigger. Additionally, with the bass having “other things” on their mind, the trophy sized bass are more apt to making mistakes and are caught more frequently at this time than any other time of year here.
As previously said, Lake Toho is fishing better than it has in years. Currently we’re averaging between 20-30 bass on our 4 hour charters with 6+lbers becoming very common. The spraying of the hydrilla on the lake has opened up some key areas that weren’t previously fishable. More spots to fish makes for much more consistency in the day to day fishing.
The best bite, if you’re looking to get the most out of your day, is on large golden wild shiners. Live bait is by far producing both the best numbers of bass along with the biggest size day to day. If you’re looking for an artificial bite. Jerkbaits, flukes, chatterbaits, and speedworms have all been working extremely well lately in the offshore grass on the lake right now. You’re definitely not going to go home empty handed whether you choose live bait or artificials.
This is the best time of the year to bass fish Lake Toho and with that being said, it’s also the busiest time of year for us. So if you did want to see what fishing Toho is all about, I would recommend reserving your day as far in advance as you can to ensure availability.

Summer Lake Toho fishing report
jun 9, 2025 • Kissimmee
The bass fishing on Lake Toho this summer has been some of the best and most consistent we've ever seen, and it's due to some unique circumstances. We've been getting more rain than usual along with the lake having more hydrilla in it than ever before, and both have actually made for some excellent bass fishing.
The water, which typically has a algae bloom at this time of year, is the cleanest I have ever seen during the summer, and the bass are loving it. Mainly because of the extra rain we've been getting, there has been a lot of water flow between the lakes keeping the water fresh and clean. We are averaging an incredible 30+ bass a day right now on just our 4 hour trips. With 40+ fish days happening multiple times a week.
The bass are schooling up like crazy in the large open areas out in the offshore hydrilla, and in the areas of running water throughout the lake. Once you find one of these schools, it's just one after another. The bulk of the fish we are catching right now on our charters are coming off of shiners.
With the live bait you can get in these schools and start catching. But for artificials, the bite has been largely on flukes, speedworms, and chatterbaits in the hydrilla. And jerkbaits, and rattletraps in the areas of running water, with some topwater action early.
You want to look for large mats of hydrilla and peppergrass, throwing speedworms and chatterbaits around the thicker hydrilla, and flukes and jerkbaits around the thinner areas of hydrilla and peppergrass. For the areas of running water, focus on the entrances and exits where the water flows in and out of the lake. Keep an eye out for schooling fish busting on bait as the fish in these areas can move quickly and the quickest way to locate them is when they show themselves.
This summer has been the best that I have seen in years for bass fishing on Lake Toho. So if you're in the area on vacation or live around here, come spend a morning on Toho, and I promise you won't be disappointed.
-Captain AJ
