Rock Bass
While Kissimmee is renowned for its largemouth bass, don't overlook the opportunity to target Rock Bass. These feisty fish inhabit the clearer, cooler waters of the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes and its associated canals and creeks. Focus on areas with rocky structure, submerged vegetation, and docks. Spring and fall are ideal times to fish for them, as the water temperatures are more comfortable. Small jigs, spinners, and live bait like crickets or worms work well. A local tip: try fishing around the numerous docks and seawalls along Lake Tohopekaliga (Toho). The Rock Bass population in Kissimmee is typically smaller than in more northern waters, but they are still a fun and accessible species to target, especially for families and beginner anglers. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
