- Lake Toho January Fishing Report
My advice on where to look and what to throw on Lake Toho right now to hopefully put a few bass in the boat and avoid a tough day of fishing!
🔥Quick Fishing Tip!🔥
As the water temps drop into post frontal range, feeding behavior will change as their metabolism slows. try fishing first light and last light to capitalize on primary feeds!

Thanks. Move into winter always tough!
Yup, it’s been a grind for me, handful of fish on a good day. Thanks for the report, will start punching more with this cold front next week.
@@robinsheltrafishing2634 yeah it’s been tough. Too much grass, high water levels, warmer than usual temps. That’s all about to change
Man Toho has been tough with these cold fronts.... took 13 pounds to win our tourney out there, and I heard only 8 pounds won the ABA... that is INSANE for toho.
@@jsswitch78 yeah it’s tough. Just getting a limit of two lbers right now goes a long way
good stuff fav lake!!!
@@davecfishing7907 it’s a fun lake for sure!
That’s for the vid! I’ve been throwing a 3.3 kitech fat swing on a 6th sense line thru treble head #10 owner hook on my bfs setup. Dobyns sierra 740c with a dark wolf reel. Catches decent bass when it’s super slow, and it also catches dinner plate specks.
@@justinmalone8640 BFS is changing the game!
@ what do you recommend for a flipping stick? I definitely want to get into that this year
@@justinmalone8640 my personal favorite is the Dobyns Champion 766Flip
But generally speaking you want something that’s about 7’6” in length and heavy action fast tip response.
Even if your not catching anything I love to see it and what and how your fishing it
@@PHATBASSASSASSIN thank you!
Great video👍👍
@@robertpanico83 thanks buddy! Looking forward to fishing with you soon!
ET knows Toho!
Man I gotta tell you I really appreciate your videos… I’m preparing to come down to Florida from New York to fish the Bassmaster kayak series on the Kissimmee chain. I grew up in Orlando but haven’t fished down there for many years!
@@TheFishingMommy hopefully they help! The lake can be intimidating due to the over abundance of hydrilla but there’s a few tricks to finding them!
@ I’m learning a lot from you!
And if all else fails there’s always the little lakes ;)
@ some of these little lakes around here are really good!
@ I may take a day of prefishing to hit a couple of them & see if it makes sense for me to stay off the beaten path. I expect probably about 200 anglers to show up for this tournament, so it may get real crowded even on Toho & Kissimmee.
@ there’s plenty of room out there
They are bedding I seen them on the north end today Lakefront legend
Hey Erik, Happy New Year to you!!!!....Quick question here, I use Dobyns rods also and have pretty much every 7'0 to 7 foot 3 rod in their "Fury" series. I'm struggling a bit with rod choices in different cover situations since I'm newish to Florida and not used to the different cover types here.....I'm not sure if you're familiar with their "Fury" series, but if you are....which action/power would you fish treble hook baits like top waters and lipless baits on and which rod would you throw a chatter bait on? Also, would your recommendation change in heavy grass situations versus more open water? I fish out of a kayak, so that's important as well as it's pretty hard for me to throw anything over 7'3.Thanks a bunch!!!
@@mikeschwallenberg3456 for cranking treble hook baits and chatterbaits the Fury 705CB was my favorite when I was still using Fury’s. For topwater anything; spook, frog, plopper, you name it…gotta be that Fury 734C or 704C. Hope that helps!
@@TilsonsGuideService That does help, thanks a bunch! I've had that 705CB crankbait rod for a while now, but just always assumed it was not enough backbone for grassy kinda situations....what's your thought process (advantages) on throwing that lighter rod? Also, as far as the frog goes, would you still throw that on the 704C in heavy cover? Last question, I promise....I assume you would you use the 735C (Mag Heavy) for punching heavy cover, any other uses for that one? I really appreciate the help 👍
@ yeah man so I mean, a 4 power rod in a 7’ length is pretty stout not to mention the Fury line is a little stiffer than say the XP line. I think a 735 is fine heavy flipping and a 704 is fine for a frog. It’s more about the angler and his ability to swing that hammer than it is the rod 😎
Nice video man, made it to Kissimmee, hatch, and then walk in water a week or two ago... didnt find any hydrilla/milfoil and the fishing was slow. Looks like i should have checked toho! Assuming they sprayed but you don't really know till you go! Any tips to knowing about the grass situations on lakes prior to going? 👍🔥
@@captainandrewcrabtree there’s not really any way to know until you go. Not very many of them have hydrilla like Toho does I will tell you that.
@TilsonsGuideService appreciate it bud, have a good one!
Great video. I fish Toho in the BFL later in March. Being from Michigan we use a lot of Green Pumpkin baits. Can you explain why black and blue work so good down here. Thanks.
Tannic or dark water Blk blue shows up better in dirty water. Green pumpkin works but better for cleaner water. Just my experience as a Florida native
@@1829Lola provides a more natural look in black tannic waters. Blacks, blues, and greens. Green Pumpkin works great here too I’ve just personally had great luck with black and blue.
Have they done any spraying
Nope.
@ I talked to Kent there at Richardsons he said he thought he saw some spray boats out there
@ they’ve been spraying some hyacinths and some vine stuff. No hydrilla treatments
Hope they stop spraying
@ you got to be able to get around the lake
Whats up Eric
@@ambassin3280 what’s up bro!
