It's just you, your fishing buddy, and acres of bass-rich waters waiting to be explored.

What to Expect on the Water

Kick back and enjoy a laid-back morning or afternoon on Kissimmee's gorgeous lakes. We'll cruise to Captain Jonathan's tried-and-true honey holes where the bass are always biting. No need to lug your own tackle – we've got top-notch rods, reels, and lures all ready to go. The beauty of a private charter? It's all about you. Want to focus on perfecting your cast?

And let's be real, there's nothing quite like the thrill of feeling that first tug on your line and reeling in a feisty Florida bass.

Techniques That Hook the Big Ones

Get ready to dive into the world of bass fishing techniques. We'll start with the basics if you're new to the game, or jump right into more advanced methods if you've got some experience under your belt. Expect to try your hand at flipping and pitching around vegetation, working topwater lures across open water, or slow-rolling spinnerbaits near submerged structures. Captain Jonathan's always got his finger on the pulse of what's working best, so we might mix it up with some Carolina rigs or even drop-shotting if that's what the bass are craving. The lakes around Kissimmee offer a mix of open water and grassy areas, giving us plenty of options to switch things up and keep the fish (and you) on your toes.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass are the crown jewels of Kissimmee's lakes, and for good reason. These bucket-mouthed beauties can grow to impressive sizes here in Central Florida, with fish over 10 pounds not uncommon. They're known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps when hooked, giving you a real fight to remember. Spring is prime time for trophy Largemouths as they move into shallow waters to spawn, but you can catch them year-round with the right approach. These fish love to hang around structure like sunken logs, weed edges, and dock pilings, so we'll focus on those prime spots to increase your chances of hooking into a wall-hanger.

Smallmouth Bass, while less common in Florida, are still a prized catch in certain Kissimmee lakes. These bronze battlers are pound-for-pound some of the hardest fighting freshwater fish you'll encounter. They prefer cooler, clearer waters and rocky habitats, so we'll target different areas for these guys. Smallmouths are most active in the early morning or late evening, especially during the warmer months. When you hook into one, hold on tight – these fish are known for their powerful runs and aerial acrobatics. While they may not reach the same size as their Largemouth cousins, a 3-4 pound Smallmouth will give you a fight you won't soon forget.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing the Kissimmee lakes that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the peaceful mornings with mist rising off the water, or the heart-pounding excitement when a big bass explodes on your topwater lure. Our guests often tell us how much they appreciate the personalized attention on these private charters. It's not just about catching fish (though that's a big part of it) – it's about learning new skills, hearing local fish tales from Captain Jonathan, and creating memories that'll have you reliving the trip long after you're back home. Plus, with the lakes' reputation for producing trophy-sized bass, there's always the chance you'll hook into that fish of a lifetime.

Top Catches This Season

While every fishing trip is unique, we've been seeing some impressive catches lately that are worth bragging about. Several guests have landed Largemouths in the 8-10 pound range, with a few lucky anglers breaking the double-digit mark. These big girls put up a serious fight and make for some epic photos. We've also had success with numbers, with many trips yielding 15-20 bass per outing. The Smallmouth action has been heating up too, with some chunky 3-4 pounders giving our light tackle a real workout. Remember, it's not all about size – the memories of a perfect cast, a slick hookset, or simply enjoying a beautiful day on the water are just as valuable as any trophy fish.

Insider Tips for a Great Trip

Want to make the most of your Kissimmee bass fishing adventure? Here are a few pro tips to keep in mind. First off, don't sleep on the early morning bite – some of our best action happens right as the sun's coming up. If you're not an early bird, no worries – evening trips can be just as productive. Dress in layers, as Florida weather can be unpredictable, and don't forget the sunscreen and a hat. While we provide all the necessary gear, feel free to bring your favorite rod if you've got one. And most importantly, come with a positive attitude and be ready to learn. Even if the fish aren't cooperating (which is rare), you'll still pick up valuable skills and local knowledge that'll serve you well on future fishing trips.

Conservation Matters

Here at Kissimmee Fishing Charter, we're big on preserving our amazing fishery for future generations. That's why we practice and encourage catch-and-release, especially for those bigger, breeding-size bass. Don't worry – we'll make sure you get plenty of photos to show off your catch before we send it swimming back home. We use barbless hooks to minimize fish damage and handle them with care. By participating in responsible fishing practices, you're helping ensure that Kissimmee's lakes remain a world-class bass fishing destination for years to come.

Learn more about the species

Largemouth Bass

Largemouth bass are the rockstars of freshwater fishing here in Kissimmee. These big-mouthed bruisers can grow over 10 pounds, though 2-5 pounders are more common. You'll find them lurking around weedy areas, fallen trees, and dock pilings in our lakes. They're most active in spring and fall, but can be caught year-round with the right approach. Anglers love largemouth for their explosive strikes and powerful fights. To up your odds, try working a plastic worm or jig slowly along the edges of weed beds. Early mornings and evenings are prime time, especially in summer when they seek cooler, deeper water during the day. A medium-heavy baitcasting setup with 12-20 lb line handles most situations. If you're new to bass fishing, don't overlook topwater lures - there's nothing quite like the thrill of a big largemouth smashing a surface bait at dawn. And hey, they make for good eating too, just be sure to release the big ones to keep the fishery healthy.

Largemouth Bass

Smallmouth Bass

Smallmouth bass are feisty fighters that'll give you a run for your money. These bronze beauties typically run 1-4 pounds and love clear, cool waters with rocky bottoms. You'll find them hanging around submerged logs, boulders, and drop-offs. Spring and fall are prime times to target smallies, when they're most active in shallower water. Anglers love 'em for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic jumps once hooked. To boost your chances, try tossing a tube jig or small crankbait near rocky shorelines during low light hours. A light spinning setup with 6-10 lb test line works great. If you're lucky enough to land one, you're in for some tasty eating too - their firm, white meat is delicious grilled or pan-fried. Just remember, in our Kissimmee lakes, they tend to go deeper in summer, so you might need to adjust your tactics when it heats up.
