Striped Bass
While Kissimmee, Florida, is more renowned for its largemouth bass, the St. Johns River and associated lakes like Lake Tohopekaliga (Lake Toho) offer a unique opportunity to target striped bass. These fish are generally smaller than those found in more northern climates, but they are still a thrilling catch. The cooler months, from late fall through early spring, are the best time to target them as they move into the river system. Focus on areas with current, such as bridges and creek mouths. Live shad are a top bait, but artificial lures like crankbaits and swimbaits can also be effective. Access to the St. Johns River is available via numerous boat ramps and parks. Be aware of the heavy boat traffic, especially on weekends. Florida stripers in this area are a fun change of pace from the typical Florida bass fishing.
