LAKE TOHO - The Headwaters for the Kissimmee River which leads South to Lake Okeechobee, Lake Toho is abundant with natural Florida vegetation as well as Hydrilla which helps provide cover for big bass. A majority of Lake Toho is still owned by cattle ranchers so there are very few homes on the lake allowing anglers to see Florida in it's natural setting. Both live bait and artificial lures account for trophy bass caught but there are certain times during the year where one technique will be most productive. Almost all bass fishing is done in 4 feet or less in thick vegetation using weedless lures. Top water action can be found on any lake in Florida year round but Lake Toho bass can totally demolish top water lures when presented properly.

In a 2001 B.A.S.S. tournament a new record for a 5 bass limit was established when a competitor brought in 45lbs 02 oz of fish to the scales averaging 9lbs per fish! The 4 day record was also established in that tournament at 108lbs 04 oz. While this record has since been broken Lake Toho secured it's place in the record books as one of the best fisheries in the country. Because of Lake Toho's reputation and proximity to the theme parks it is the primary lake for Florida Bass Adventures Orlando Bass Guide Service due to it's consistent ability to produce trophy bass. No other lake in Orlando can match the number of trophy bass that Lake Toho produces day in and day out.

LAKE KISSIMMEE - Covering roughly 35,000 acres Lake Kissimmee is the largest of the 5 lakes that make up the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes and is the furthest South of Orlando. Lake Kissimmee has a long reputation for producing trophy bass as well as quality crappie and bluegill fishing. In 1996 Lake Kissimmee underwent an extreme drawdown and habitat enhancement project in 1996 where 24 miles of shoreline were enhanced by the removal of accumulated organic sediment and associated vegetation that was too dense to provide optimum fishing habitat. Subsequently, more beneficial native vegetation became established in enhanced areas which provided improved spawning and nursery habitat for fish.

Since the drawdown many signs of the success can be seen through tournament results most notably the 2006 Bassmaster Classic that was won by an angler fishing Lake Kissimmee exclusively for the entire 3 days of the tournament. In 2004 mother nature did her part to improve Lake Kissimmee by steering a hurricane directly over the lake again clearing out decaying plant matter on the bottom of the lake.

As the largest lake in the Kissimmee chain and the furthest from Orlando, Lake Kissimmee gets relatively light fishing pressure from anglers making it a great choice to spend a day. Just a short boat ride from Lake Kissimmee are Lake Cypress and Lake Hatchineha. Both trophy bass lakes in their own right and as they are part of the Kissimmee chain fish very similar to the more well known Lake Kissimmee and Lake Toho.
