WHAT TO WATCH FOR AT MLF KISSIMMEE CHAIN OF LAKES

 

Lake Tohopekaliga, known affectionately as Lake Toho, is the stage for this year’s Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour opener. The largest lake in Osceola County, Lake Toho is part of the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes and covers 22,700 acres. With a maximum depth of only 13 feet, Toho is a dream for anyone who likes to fish shallow. Known as one of the best bass lakes in the country, it is no surprise that MLF® chose to kick things off in Florida.

Large swatches of vegetation including maiden cane, hydrilla, and bullrush are key attributes of Toho and help to produce its large numbers of bass and baitfish. The shoreline of Toho has been improved in recent years thanks to drawdowns in water levels at times, creating a prime habitat for spawning bass.

 

With February water temperatures reaching spawning levels of 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit, it makes sense that Toho seems to have a habit of producing some enormous bass during the winter months. The current lake record stands at 16 pounds, 10 ounces. Needless to say, Lake Toho should offer some exciting moments.

Some techniques to watch for will be bed fishing with a little help from the Berkley PowerBait Shape 108 and Gilly, casting near grass and shell bars with the Berkley PowerBait MaxScent The General, and punching/ flipping with the Berkley PowerBait Pit Boss and Shape 108.

The Berkley PowerBait & Shape 108

An angler to keep your eye on will be Berkley Pro Keith Poche. The shallow water of Toho may lend an upper hand to Keith as he will be competing in an all-aluminum boat. Keith is known to take his aluminum boat to hard-to-reach places that fiberglass boats can’t go.
