Yellow Bass
While largemouth bass dominate the conversation in Kissimmee, don't overlook the yellow bass. These scrappy fighters offer a fun alternative, especially when other species are slow. Focus your efforts on Lake Tohopekaliga (Toho) and the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes. Look for them around lily pads, hydrilla, and other vegetation. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target yellow bass in Kissimmee, as they tend to school up and become more active. Small jigs, spinners, and live minnows are all effective baits. A local tip: pay attention to the water clarity. Yellow bass prefer clearer water, so focus your efforts on areas that haven't been stirred up by wind or boat traffic. Also, consider fishing early in the morning or late in the afternoon, as yellow bass tend to be more active during these times. Access to the Kissimmee Chain is excellent, with numerous boat ramps and public fishing areas. The yellow bass here are typically smaller than largemouth, but they make up for it with their willingness to bite and their feisty attitude.
