Captain Bill took my son and I on a 3 hour at Lake Toho. We had a great time and caught some great bass. If you’re in the area and want to catch big bass I would definitely give him a call!

We had a wonderful fishing experience with Capt Steve Niemoeller! We went out for a 4 hour pontoon boat fishing trip at lake Toho. Capt Steve is a bass master and super knowledgeable! We caught 15-16 fish between 4 of us. They were all the largest bass we ever caught. We had a great time and would go back!

Captain Steve was the best guide. He was patient, kind, and knew all the best spots. We can’t wait to join him again soon.

Although the weather was a bit chilly today, Captain Steve got me into several great producing holes of Bass! I had 29 large mouth Bass in the boat over a 6 hour period, with several over 5 lbs! We must have lost another 10 or 12 in the weeds. This was my 5th time fishing with Captain Steve and I…

Fished with Captain Galen on Lake Toho. Even though conditions were tough we had a great time. Galen worked hard to put us on fish and was easy to share stories with during slow times. Definitely going back next year.

Steve is a world class guide, I brought some grandchildren, he made sure they all caught fish. We will be back.

Captain Steve took us for a half day of bass fishing and it was a blast! He took us to two spots and we caught about 24 fish. We had a mix of expertise in our group but mostly amateur or beginner and he was so helpful! We had a great time!

Captain Steve is a great guide. Despite a temperature of 43 & 30 mph winds, I was able to catch about 25 fish including a 4+ pound largemouth (surprisingly, I also catch a very nice size catfish).4th time I have fished either him & every trip has been great & successful.

Had a great time, captain Steve was super cool and easy going. Caught about 19 bass and pickerel combine. All good sizes. He definitely knows his stuff.

Lake Toho fishing: what you can catch
Lake Tohopekaliga fishing in Kissimmee is mostly about largemouth bass, which hold in the grass, reeds and open water of this big lake on the edge of town. Crappie, bluegill and shellcracker round out the catch in season, and crappie trips run on a pontoon. Winter and early spring bring the spawn and the best shot at a big bass; in summer, the early-morning bite is best.
What's biting by season
Winter Dec–Feb
- Bass spawn season and the best shot at a big fish
- Crappie at their best
Spring Mar–May
- Late spawn and post-spawn bass, bluegill and shellcracker on beds
Summer Jun–Aug
- Early-morning topwater bass, then deeper grass edges as it heats up
Fall Sep–Nov
- Bass feed up as the water cools
- Crappie start to school late in the season
- Every angler 16 or older needs a Florida freshwater fishing license unless exempt. Buy it online before the trip.
- Black bass: 5 per person per day, and only 1 may be 16" or longer. Some waters have special bass rules; your guide will tell you before the trip.
- Crappie: 25 per person per day, 10" minimum.

Lake Toho fishing guide
Lake Tohopekaliga, or Lake Toho, sits on the south side of Kissimmee, a short drive from Orlando. Grass, reeds and open water hold largemouth bass all year, and crappie in the cooler months.
Where you'll fish
Lake Tohopekaliga is the big lake in Kissimmee. Every trip on this page fishes Lake Toho. Your guide confirms the boat ramp before the trip.
How the trips work
Bass trips run from a bass boat with a trolling motor; crappie trips and pontoon charters run on a pontoon. Your guide provides rods, reels and artificial lures, and can set you up with live wild shiners, which is often the best way to catch a big bass. Shiners are optional and cost extra; ask your guide when you book. Most bass are photographed and released.
Best time to go
Bass fishing is good all year. Winter and early spring bring the spawn and the best shot at a big fish. In summer, go early for topwater action before the heat and afternoon storms. Crappie are best from about November to March.
Tips for planning your trip
- Get your license first. Buy a Florida freshwater fishing license online before the trip and bring it with you.
- Short on time? A 2-hour bass trip fits a theme-park vacation.
- Morning trips usually fish best, especially in summer.
