Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

The calm waters and scenic surroundings make it a peaceful place to spend a morning, even if the fish aren't biting.

Kids especially love the thrill of reeling in their first fish, and there's a good chance they'll get that opportunity here. Plus, the catch-and-release policy means you can feel good about your impact on the lake. It's not just about the fishing – it's about unplugging, connecting with nature, and creating those "remember when" moments that families cherish.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass are the stars of the show on Lake Toho, and for good reason. These green-and-gold beauties are known for their impressive size and fighting spirit. Lake Toho has produced some real whoppers over the years, with bass over 10 pounds not uncommon. These fish are ambush predators, often hiding out near structure like submerged logs or weed beds before darting out to snatch their prey. This behavior makes for exciting fishing as you never know when a big one might strike. Spring is typically prime time for bass fishing, as the fish move into shallower water to spawn. However, Lake Toho's bass fishing is solid year-round, with different techniques working better in different seasons. Captain Mark knows all the tricks to entice these bucket-mouths to bite, no matter the time of year. There's nothing quite like the feeling of a big bass on the line, and the photo ops with these impressive fish are priceless.

While Largemouth Bass are the main attraction, you might also encounter some of Lake Toho's other residents. Bluegill and crappie (also known as speckled perch) are common catches, especially if you're using live bait. These smaller fish can be a blast for kids to catch, as they're often more willing to bite and provide constant action. You might also spot some of Florida's famous alligators sunning themselves on the shoreline – don't worry, Captain Mark knows how to keep a safe distance while giving you a good view of these prehistoric-looking creatures.
