Fishing has been great the past two months. As we approach a new year we are also approaching my favorite time of year for bass fishing, the spawn. Like last year, I will be catching some trophy fish. The weather is a little warmer than average so if there are no signifacant changes I would expect to see some fish moving onto some beds within the next 30 days. I have been catching some large bass with belly's full of eggs in prespawn areas all month long. I haven't seen any beds yet but again I expect to very soon. I am extremely excited to the start of 2010 and look forward to all the trips I have booked so far. |

Orlando - October '09 bass fishing
|
This report is short and simple, the bass fishing has been amazing so far for the month of October. Despite the unseasonably hot weather; Top water, soft plastics, crankbaits, and spinner baits are all working, and all of them have landed my clients big fish. Check out all my clients catches at http://www.youtube.com/user/OrlandoTrophyBass and see for yourself the fish I am putting my guests on.

Orlando - September bass fishing
|
Heat and afternoon rain, that sums up the weather for the past month. Despite the 90 degree temps and water temps in the mid to upper 80’s, the fishing remains steady. On average my non-experienced guests or first timers still manage to land 10-12 fish in four hours on artificial baits, and usually get at least one fish in the 4-7 lbs range. I am a soft plastic angler and really don’t use hard plastics as much as other but recently we have been using Top water pop’ers and have been very successful with catching schooling bass within the first hour or sunlight. Most of those fish are in the 2 lbs range, but during the past two weeks I have had two guests each land a 6 lbs’er off a pop’er. Flukes and sinkos are working best during the rest of the trip. Now that summer is ending and fall is fast approaching, the fishing is only going to get better. As the waters cool down the fish are going to be more eager to bite, so I know my clients that are already booked for the end of September and November are going to have bigger numbers. Fall specials available for advanced bookings.

I can’t believe it is already August. The long wait for my son to be born finally came to a end two weeks ago. He is very healthy and already starting to grow up on me. With the birth of my son, I had to take a few weeks off, but this week I returned to taking people out fishing. Being away inside the house for the last two weeks, my body forgot how really hot it is out on the water, so I am getting used to that again. Even with the sun blazing down on you, me and my guests quickly stop paying attention to it because the fishing has been amazing. I took out Pat and his son Kieran from the UK on Monday, it was there first time fishing for bass and Kieran landed 10 bass, and Pat landed 4, but lost 2 five pound bass right at the boat, both in a row. I had them fishing in a 13ft deep hole with watermelon seed sinkos with ¼ once weight, texas rigged. Not bad for first time anglers. Wednesday I fished with my friend Scott, and we both put on a show, landing over 25 fish in four hours. 6 of which were at least 4 lbs and range 17-19 inches long. Bass were feeding and busting out of the water all morning long. Out of the 20 bass we caught only 2 or 3 were less than 2 lbs, they were all fat and happy. Scott’s several 4 lbs bass were caught with a sexy shad crank bait. When we ran into bait fish, we would both throw watermelon seed flukes and were pretty much guaranteed a fish. Even this being the hottest time of the year, we are still catching trophy bass on almost every trip.

Orlando Trophy Bass fishing report 6/30/09
|
Fishing has been really exciting the past few weeks. I have had many guests with a wide variety of skills which makes my trips really fun for me. The bass are biting and everyone I am taking out is catching fish. My more skilled guests have been catching around 15-20 fish, and my guests that rarely fish, or have never fished are catching about 8-10 fish in 4 hours. Most of these fish have been in the 2-3 lbs range. Almost every trip has lead to someone in the boat catching at least one fish over 5 lbs.
Black/blue sinkos have been my bait of choice, following rattle traps, and then watermelon red flukes. These three baits have really been putting my guests on fish the past month. My focus has been fishing open water 9-15 ft deep. I am looking for the edges in the hydrilla fishing away from the hydrilla back into it. I am also looking for 9-12 ft of water with deeper holes as far deep at 20 ft. I am then casting into the hole working back up into the shallower water. Working baits like the sinko or a Jig off the bottom are creating great strikes. Occasionally my guests will throw a deep diving crank bait and are getting strikes and fish as the work the bait up the banks of these holes.
Here are just a few of the pictures of fish my guest have caught over the past week.
Mark from Ft Lauderdale, had this 6 lbs bass fishing a 9 ft deep ledge at the edge of a 20 ft deep hole with a blk/blue sinko and ¼ oz red bullet weight.
This was Steve’s 4 lbs bass he caught with the same colored blk/blue sinko, caught on fathers day. This was the first of several fish he caught over 4 lbs that day, his other fish can be seen, as well as fish my other guest have caught, at http://www.youtube.com/user/OrlandoTrophyBass

"Orlando Trophy Bass" fishing Report 06/11/09

I have been out on toho this week, and like everyone else, I have been fishing in the canals since the water management gates are still open moving water through the lakes. Crank baits are working the best in the canals. I also have been fishing open water in the middle of the lake, finding sweet spots all over the lake that have deeper hydrilla and plenty of bait fish on them. Sinkos have been working the best, whether they are weightless or with a ¼ once weight texas rigged, we have been catching decent fish.
On the private lake I fish on, the bite is almost back to normal, catching fish in open water with flukes and weightless sinkos. Since the water levels are still above normal, I am also fishing the flooded cypress trees catching fish with top water frogs and flukes. My guests are catching around 15-20 fish in 4 hours on this lake, still a little below what we have been catching, but we have been catching better sized fish then in the past.
Don’t let that summer heat prevent you from coming out with a florida guide. Great fishing and trophy sized bass are being caught thoughout Florida during the summer months so book a trip today.

Another week has passed and fishing continues to be great. On a 4 hour fishing trip my guests have been catching 12-20 fish. The fishes sizes continues to vary from 1 lb to 6lbs. Soft plastics seem to be doing the best for catching these bass. Super flukes in watermelon red, and silver have been working the best. A close second has been green and black sinkos, weightless; these sinkos are producing the bigger fish that are caught. The month has brought warm weather, but at times some strong winds, making fishing with weightless plastics a little more challanging. The water temperature is around 72 degress and the fish have been very active even after a cold front has come through.
This past week, between trips I was able to take out my wife, brother and sister-in-law out for a few hours. They have very little fishing experience but in total they caught 9 fish in less than 2 hours. My wife leading the way with 5 solid keepers. I really enjoyed spending that time with them we were all very relaxed after spending those few hours away from the attractions we went to earlier that week. |

Orlando fishing Report 03/27/09

The trips that I have been on the last few weeks have had good fishing. The only tough weather I have dealt with over the last few weeks have been the winds. Winds have been steady at 10-15 mph with high gusts almost everyday for the past two weeks, but the bite remains strong.
I have been spending most of my time between Lake Conway and a private lake. I was still getting fish on Conway site fishing beds early in the morning hours before the wind kicks up, mainly small males but getting solid numbers. On the private lake Flukes, crank baits, and spinners have been getting the most bites. Watermelon red flukes have been the most productive out of those baits. Also the shinner bite has been strong especially in the late morning, early afternoon hours.
I ended this week fishing with Rodney and his 8 y/o son Troy. It was a great day of fishing and Troy truly impressed me when he landed all his fish throwing a watermelon red fluke. Troy really impressed me after he took a brief nap, and as soon as he woke up he made one cast and landed a fish. That’s a new technique I am going to try at my next tournament. Troy nearly had a 5+ lbs bass but lost it right at the boat, but made up for it when he caught a bass on the last cast of the day.

Lake Conway and Lake Toho have been my focus most of the month of February. My game plan most of my trips were to site fish, I admit I had both good and bad days. When a cold front was passing through or right over us, like bass are supposed to, they pulled off the beds, making it difficult to get numbers off the beds. I did make adjustments to fish in deeper water out in the middle of the lakes and looked for steep ledges, which Conway has plenty, and managed to get a few. These cold fronts really screwed things up, not just for me, but many anglers I know. One week the water temp was 65 and then a cold front would pass through and drop the water temps down almost 8-9 degrees. Like I said, Mother Nature was not very friendly to me this month, but I still managed to get some 7 lbs and several in the 3-4 lbs range. I will be honest, this was not my best month, but the temperatures will be back to normal this weekend, in the upper 70’s and low 80’s, and the bite will improve. As this years spawn winds down, my focus will be fishing deeper water for post-spawn bass, and getting ready for the summer bite. |

The beginning of the month was a very difficult month of fishing for me. The cold weather in the beginning of the month dropped the water temp into the low 50’s making the fish very lethargic. Fish were still being caught but not at the rate they were normally being caught. It finally started warming up a week ago and the water temp has quickly warmed up too. The second week of the month showed improvement with more fish starting to move up on beds. Today, Friday 13th proved to be a very lucky day for my guest Roger. Roger and I spent the day on Lake Conway, site fishing and catching fish all day using shaky heads with junebug finesse worms, Roger ended the day catching a 9 lbs bass off a bed with that shaky head. The temps are supposed to remain in the 70’s and 80’s over the next week, so the site fishing will only be getting better as more and more fish spawn. |

January 2009 Fishing Report
|
Well, 2009 has quickly arrived and to be honest I am pretty excited about the New Year. On a personal note, I am hoping this is the year my wife and I finally start the family we have been trying for over the last few years. I am also hoping for another healthy year for me and all those effected with cystic fibrosis. I would also like to take the time to wish all my clients, friends, and future clients a Happy New Year.
I have been fishing everyday over the last three weeks thanks to some great unusually warm weather, preparing for trips and tournaments. John’s Lake has been slow for me the last few weeks. The usually morning schooling fish are still productive but once they slow down I have had some difficulty locating fish. I have been waiting for some pre-spawn and spawning spots to turn on. The water temperature on John’s Lake as of last Friday was 63 degrees, still a little too cool for bedding fish to begin.
Lake Toho on the other hand, has been on fire for me. Now, they are spraying hydrilla with helicopters which usually shuts down the bite in certain areas while the hydrilla dies off. Thankfully there areas that I have been fishing have not been sprayed. All my fish are being caught in clear water, using a dark colored worm. Haven’t seen any bedding fish yet but I am seeing the males scouting the shallows.

Orlando fishing Report 11/23/08

Fishing continues to be hot despite the much cooler weather in the last two weeks. Most of the fish I have been catching are in shallow water. I have been fishing on a private lake most of the month, and would catch 15+ fish in just a few hours. All of them were in 3-5 ft clear water, around fallen trees and scattered grass. They were caught with a tequila sunrise 6 inch worm, ½ oz blue/black jig, and spinner baits. The few times I was on John’s Lake, schooling fish gave for some good action during the early morning hours, with much success with silver rattle trap. Once that bite slowed down, we would fish the rest of the time with topwater frogs on the matted and scattered grass near the banks catching several 3-4 lbs bass.
