Looking for consistent bass action on one of Florida's most productive waters? You've found the right crew. Lake Toho has been delivering trophy largemouth bass for decades, and our guides know every honey hole, grass line, and structure that holds fish. Whether you're a weekend warrior or serious tournament angler, we'll put you on bass that'll make your drag scream. This isn't some cookie-cutter operation - we fish hard, adapt to conditions, and make sure you leave with stories worth telling.
Your Lake Toho adventure starts before sunrise when the bass are most active and aggressive. We'll meet at the ramp, get you set up with gear, and head straight to where the fish are biting. Our fully rigged bass boats are tournament-ready with the latest electronics, so we can mark fish and structure in real time. You'll fish with up to one other angler, keeping things personal and maximizing your rod time. We stay flexible with our approach - if the morning bite dies off, we'll adjust tactics and locations to keep you connected to fish. During those brutal summer months when midday heat pushes bass deep, we know the shaded pockets and deeper structure where they stack up. Every trip is different because the lake changes daily, but our experience means we're always one step ahead of the fish.
Lake Toho's shallow, weedy structure is bass heaven, and we fish it like locals who've been here for years. We'll work everything from flipping thick vegetation to burning spinnerbaits over submerged grass beds. The lake's famous for its wild golden shiners - hands down the most effective live bait for big bass here. We recommend 5 dozen shiners for a 5-hour trip or 6 dozen for 6 hours at $25 per dozen. These aren't your typical bait shop shiners; they're Lake Toho natives that bass can't resist. If you prefer artificials, we'll dial in the right lures for current conditions - maybe soft plastics around downed timber, topwater over shallow flats at dawn, or deep-diving cranks along drop-offs. Our electronics help us stay on schools of baitfish where bass are actively feeding. The lake's relatively shallow with tons of cover, so we're constantly moving and adapting our presentation based on what the fish want that day.
Largemouth bass are the undisputed kings of Lake Toho, and these aren't your average suburban pond fish. Toho's bass are thick-bodied, aggressive fighters that average 3-5 pounds with plenty of 6-8 pound specimens mixed in. During pre-spawn from January through March, these bass pack on weight and stage in shallow areas, making them prime targets for both live bait and artificials. Spring spawning activity creates some of the year's most visual and exciting fishing as bass guard beds in clear, shallow water. Summer bass go deeper during midday heat but explode on topwater baits early and late. Fall brings another feeding frenzy as bass fatten up before winter, often schooling over structure and chasing baitfish aggressively. What makes Toho bass special is their willingness to eat big baits - don't be surprised when a 10-inch wild shiner gets crushed by a bass that barely fits in the net. These fish fight dirty too, diving straight into thick cover and testing your drag system. The combination of Florida's year-round growing season and Toho's fertile waters produces bass with shoulders that'll surprise even experienced anglers.
Lake Toho bass fishing delivers results every month of the year, and our guides know how to put you on fish regardless of conditions. We're not just here to take you for a boat ride - we're here to bend rods and fill the livewell. The wild shiners make a huge difference in your success rate, especially when bass get finicky during temperature changes or after cold fronts. Book your trip today and experience why Lake Toho has earned its reputation as one of Florida's top-rated bass fisheries. Whether this is your first guided trip or you're a seasoned pro looking for new water, we'll make sure you understand why anglers travel from across the country to fish Toho. The bass are here, the guides are ready, and your next personal best is waiting.
Our restored 1995 20-foot Skeeter bass boat cuts through Lake Toho's waters with a powerful 225HP Mercury engine, hitting speeds up to 70 knots to get you to the hottest fishing spots fast. This classic hull was completely rebuilt in 2016 and runs like new, equipped with GPS navigation and a reliable fish finder to locate bass holding in structure and cover. The boat comfortably fishes two anglers with plenty of deck space for casting and fighting fish. Whether you're working the grass lines with shiners or throwing artificials around the cypress trees, this Skeeter gets you positioned perfectly for those trophy Lake Toho largemouth. The shallow draft lets us access backwater areas where big bass love to hide.
