Oh almost forgot...early morning bite any FROG is golden...I like the gambler cane toad and also the zoom horny toad, any color should work similar to the color of vegetation. I use the zoom flukes too...sometimes watermelon seed and sometimes pearl white...give these a shot early mornings for topwater bite if you can. Lemme know how it all works out!!

I've been a few places in Orlando, never to Toho though. Anywhere I go I throw worms and more worms and they without a doubt work. I've been to Lake Howard a few times in Orlando, always done well with the rage tail anacondas, Green pumpkin for clear water, and in lakes with vegetation and especially hydrilla....watermelon seed or watermelon red works in central Florida wherever I've gone that holds hydrilla. If you like a smaller worm...zoom mag II watermelon seed is what I go with. Also the zoom ole monster...usually watermelon seed where there is hydrilla. That's a start for worm selection, if your by the shore, anywhere by hydrilla should produce...offshore I'd try to find ledges and dropoffs if you will be on a boat and have access to a depthfinder.

I'm going there soon but have only been once, I myself need some help for sure. Fishin Daddy has good advice!

Bill DANCE for sure. The regular old guy, doesn't fish tourneys, Bill is the man!!

What'd you do with that fish fourbizz? Still an awesome fish. The one there I caught was 8lbs 10 ounces, 24 inches long. Thought yours was over ten for sure.

I know of about 10 with 20 plus feet of water...phosphate ponds.

1 or 2 inch grubs on the 1/16 oz jighead is deadly!! No doubt he's right, for specks too. I like light green jighead with a lightgreen and yellow grub. Going to try a rooster tail and spiders now though, this forum has great information.

I have to go out and catch a redfish, I never have. I've got a lot of nice trout, but I hear redfish is ten times better to eat. I have to get one just to fight it though, worry about catching some to clean later! Mosquito Lagoon sounds like the place to go, might have to give it a try.

Does anyone fish for crappie in the summer time? I can get a few in lilly pads with minnows. I like the jigeyes with a small grub, maybe jig those as deep as I can get them? Any luck away from cover in summer time?

Hey there I'm new here I love it so far. welcome from central Florida sir.

Well put Mrlitetackle.... Trying to make a name for myself?? Or become a cool guy? I'm not trying to prove anything, just making a point. If I'm on a charter boat, there is a captain of this vessel, with a deckhand who could also drive, I can have a beer if I want, no one is in danger. Not arguing with anything. be happy

3 days after the full moon and 3 days before like Shawn said is golden. I'm talking day fishing, never fish that much at night. But also another post is on track too. Dark dark nights with no stars or moon, heavy clouds even is great for fishing the next day. The fish can't see anything on dark dark nights. Check the stars . Dark night= good day of fishing next day.

LOL this thread. On a fishing charter for grouper in FL...you better believe I drank about 10 beers. The deckhand & captain would have popped the tops on my beers if I asked them to!!! Calm down people just don't drink and drive a boat/car etc.

Had a lot of strikes on the shads but same deal, 7 strikes landed 2 fish both smashed it less than 5 feet away from the boat. Could be little bass like you said which i think is true..topwater is way more fun, I miss more fish w those shads though, and they tear up easy.

I'm all about responsibility. The pitts I go to the speed limit is idle speed, no wake whatsoever for one. And also there are no other boats number two. I would not drink on a bass boat where going 30 mph and faster was an option and there were other boaters around on the lake.
