Hybrid Striped Bass
Kissimmee, Florida, offers surprisingly good Hybrid Striped Bass fishing in several of its lakes, including Lake Tohopekaliga (Toho) and Lake Kissimmee. While not as famous for hybrids as some other locations, these lakes provide a unique opportunity to target them in a classic Florida environment. The cooler months, from late fall through early spring, are generally the most productive. Focus your efforts near deeper channels, points, and submerged structure. Live shiners are a local favorite bait, but artificial lures like crankbaits and swimbaits can also be effective. Lake Toho is easily accessible with numerous boat ramps and fishing piers. Be aware of the presence of alligators, a common sight in Florida waters, and take necessary precautions. The hybrid population isn't as dense as in some other states, so patience and persistence are key to success.
