Why Lake Toho

Trophy Water Minutes From the Parks

Lake Tohopekaliga, Lake Toho to locals, covers 18,810 acres just southeast of downtown Kissimmee. It is part of the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, a string of lakes linked by canals that drains south toward Lake Kissimmee.

Bass here relate to grass: hydrilla holes and edges, offshore vegetation and the fish attractors FWC has placed around the lake, each marked with a white buoy.

The numbers back up the reputation. Anglers have logged 513 bass between 8 and 9.9 pounds and 89 between 10 and 12.9 pounds from Toho through FWC's TrophyCatch program.

How We Fish It

Techniques That Work on Toho

  • Wild golden shiners worked along hydrilla holes and edges for the biggest fish
  • Topwater baits and lipless crankbaits when shad start busting on the surface
  • Moving water after summer storms, where bass stack up to feed
  • FWC fish attractors marked by white buoys

All rods, reels, tackle and lures are provided on a tournament-rigged 21' Big "O" Elite with a 250 HP Yamaha, so you just show up and fish.

Lake Toho FAQ

How far is Lake Toho from Disney World?

Kissimmee Lakefront Park on Toho's north shore is about 14 miles from Disney Springs, roughly a 25 minute drive in normal traffic.

Where do Lake Toho trips launch?

Most trips start from the north shore in Kissimmee, where Big Toho Marina and Lakefront Park are. Capt. Jackson confirms the exact meeting point when you book.

Do I need a fishing license?

Yes. Florida requires a freshwater fishing license, and you can buy one online from FWC before your trip. We'll send the link when you book.

Can we keep any bass?

Florida's limit is 5 black bass per person per day, and only one may be 16 inches or longer. Talk it over with Capt. Jackson when you book.

Is it a good trip for kids?

Yes. Bluegill and redear sunfish keep young anglers busy between bass bites, and the 4-hour half day is a comfortable length for first-timers.
