Биография
Arthur Jackson or "Jamie" has been fishing on Lake Toho since 1970. He used to come down from Maryland every year with his father, and they would fish with Captain Ed Chancy or one of his guides. After years repeating this tradition, Jamie was hooked on the idea of guiding and fishing for a living. At the age of 11, he made the decision to work for Captain Ed when he grew up, and he made it a reality at the age of 20. He purchased his own boat and moved to Florida to pursue his dream. After 6 years of guiding he became partners with Captain Ed, who became like a second father to him, teaching him all he knew about fishing. After many years of running the business together, Ed died of a heart attack while on the lake in 1998. Jamie continues to this day to run the business and guide on the lake.

Lake Toho Winter Fishing Forecast
Lake Toho Winter Fishing Forecast
янв. 5, 2024 Киссимми
The upcoming fishing season on Lake Toho is our peak season for the year mainly because this is the beginning of the spawning months here in Central Florida. January through March is when Lake Toho produces the vast majority of trophy-sized bass over 10 lbs and it is also our peak season overall for bass fishing here in Central Florida. The fishing is so good during this time of year because this is the time that the bass are in their pre-spawn and spawning stages which produce some of the best catches and some of the biggest bass during trips. Averaging 20 to 30 bass per day and good chances daily at trophy size bass over 10 lb throughout this period. Lake Toho produces more bass over 10 pounds than any other body of water in the nation and is considered the premier trophy bass fishing lake throughout the USA. The best methods for catching large numbers of bass as well as trophy bass over 10 lb are with the large golden wild shiners which range between 6 and 10 inches in size. During this time of year the big Lake Toho lunker bass become keyed in on large golden shiners before they go on to beds and spawn. This gives bass Anglers the best chance of any time of year to catch their trophy bass of a lifetime. Artificial lures can also be productive if you have had a spell of good weather in between cold fronts but the wild shiners are always the the way to get your best chances at trophy size bass out of Lake Toho. It is well known throughout the bass fishing community that this is our best time of year for fishing on Lake Toho for lunker sized bass, and this is also when our clients are looking to book trips with our captains to get their chance at a trophy bass. Because of this being our peak season we usually book up several weeks or even a month or so in advance with all of our nine captains. If you are looking to book it is recommended that you reserve your trip several weeks ahead of time or even a month or two ahead of time to ensure that we have one of our captains available for you on the day that works best for you. Now is the time to start thinking about what day you would like to get on Lake Toho and catch the trophy bass of a lifetime and reserve your trip while we still have availabilities open for the day that you’re looking for. Our captains are here to work for you and guide you to the best fishing experience that you’ve ever had in your life on Lake Toho located here in Kissimmee Florida just minutes from Disney World. So isn’t it high time that you get your chance at your trophy bass with AJ’s bass guides. Captain Jamie Jackson

Lake Toho Fall Fishing Report
Lake Toho Fall Fishing Report
нояб. 13, 2023 Киссимми
As the cool weather of fall settles over Lake Toho, the bait throughout the lake have woken up. Mainly the shad, which have begun to spawn in different areas of the lake. This has caused a feeding frenzy of bass schooling up in large numbers. We’re averaging catching 20-30 bass on just our 4 hour trips and as always, when bass are feeding heavily on shad, the topwater bite is on also. The main area’s that this has been going on are shell beds and solid hydrilla and kissimmee grass lines. The shad like to spawn on hard edges and that means even boat ramps. The solid concrete edge of a boat ramp provides excellent space for the shad to spawn. One ramp in particular, Big Toho Marina, is holding large schools of shad with bass chasing them right inside the marina walls. You don’t need to go far to catch them right now. Out in the lake the most consistent areas you can get bit in right now are on the few shell beds the lake has to offer. Bass have been chasing shad nearly everyday in these areas. The other areas have been solid edges of hydrilla and kissimmee grass lines. These have been harder to find because there’s so many of them and not all are holding fish. But when you locate one that’s active, you can really find something special. The best way to find these areas is just to keep moving. It usually doesn’t take long for the bait and bass in the area to show themselves if they’re there. After fishing 20mins if you haven’t seen any bait or bass chasing them, just move. Early the topwater bite has been on. Spook style baits, whopper ploppers, and frogs have all been working. I just recently wrote a blog about The 5 best topwater lures for catching bass in Florida if you would like to check it out. This is one of the best times of year for topwater. But after the morning flurry is over. Flukes, jerkbaits, speedworms, and spinnerbaits have all been producing. And when the morning shad spawn ends late morning to mid day. Flipping the thicker grass back inside where the shad were spawning earlier has been catching fish when nothing else will. Of course as always the biggest bass and the bulk of the numbers we’re catching on our guide trips lately have all been off of large golden shiners. But this can be a particularly fun time of year for artificials with the early topwater bite added in. The fishing on Lake Toho has remained excellent all year and if you’re looking to bass fish Florida’s lake Toho in the fall or in the winter, I would definitely recommend booking now while you still can.

Summer Lake Toho Fishing Report
Summer Lake Toho Fishing Report
июль 12, 2023 Киссимми
Lake Toho this summer is healthier than ever. With the FWC not spraying any grass on the lake at all this year, there hasn’t been any algae bloom like years prior. Which has made the water quality and fishing throughout the whole lake solid. We’ve been catching an average of 20 to over 30+ fish a day on our guide trips and with conditions holding strong, it should remain that way for the rest of the summer. As usual at this time of year, the bulk of the bass have moved offshore to hydrilla beds, brush piles, and shell beds. Most of them can be found in hydrilla. If there’s hydrilla off the Kissimmee grass edge, chances are there’s bass in it. The best bite in these hydrilla areas has been on Zoom flukes, senkos, and Zoom speedworms. If you have a good wind and clouds, a lightly weighted speedworm reeled across the top of the grass has been working well. But if you don’t have the wind or clouds then a fluke or weightless senko has been more productive. In the areas of shell beds that have bass, topwater has been working early, with flukes and senkos becoming productive when the topwater bite quits. They haven’t been schooling consistently in these areas though which can make the topwater bite inconsistent. The brush piles have the toughest bite right now out of the 3 areas these bass are in. But it can have the biggest pay off as the fish coming off the brush piles tend to be big. While the bite has been completely inconsistent and can sometimes just be completely dependent upon the weather, the ones we are catching are coming off of worms and craws dragged on the bottom with either just a light bullet weight or a shaky head. However if you’re looking to book a trip and want to get the most out of your day, golden shiners have been the way to go. The bulk of the fish we’re catching right now are coming off of shiners and its what we’ve been getting most of the bigger bass we’ve been catching off of also, regardless of the weather. Lake Toho just continues to impress with the number of quality bass being pulled out of it this year and with the water quality being better than I’ve seen in years, it should continue to produce the fish that’s made it famous for years to come. So come be a part of the action! Capt. AJ

May Lake Toho Fishing report
May Lake Toho Fishing report
май 9, 2023 Киссимми
This has been our BEST year we’ve ever had catching trophy sized bass on Lake Toho so far and it hasn’t let up. The lake continues to produce 7+ pound bass continuously and the water quality seems to be at the best its ever been with more natural grass like shrimp grass and pepper grass growing than ever before. We’ve been consistently putting 20+ fish in the boat on our charters with some days catching over 40! While shiners have been the best bite, this is also the best time of year for artificials, when 25-30 pound bags are caught regularly. These post spawn fish are hungry and looking to eat anything they can. With these fish being in the post spawn stage and the lake being down two feet (as usual at this time of year) the bulk of the bass and bait have moved offshore to grass flats of hydrilla, shrimp grass, and pepper grass. There has also been plenty of schooling action throughout the lake and if you find one of these areas the topwater bite has been excellent. The best bite however if you’re not on one of these topwater spots early in the morning has been on flukes twitched around on the bottom, speedworms reeled through the tops of the grass, and on senkos pitched and casted around both just open water submerged grass and around the edges of visible pepper and maidencane grass. The lake as a whole has been fishing very well from north to south and it seems like we’ve been catching trophy bass throughout all of it! And with the summer historically being the time of year that all of the record size bass that have ever been caught out of Florida were caught, I’m very excited to see what the lake produces this year.

Lake Toho spring forecast
Lake Toho spring forecast
апр. 2, 2023 Киссимми
Spring bass fishing on Lake Toho here in Central Florida is one of the most productive times for catching good numbers of bass as well as the trophy bass of a lifetime. The reliability of bass fishing on Lake Toho at this time of year is due mainly to the weather becoming very stable and in turn the bass fishing is also very stable and productive at this time of year. AJ’s Bass Guides has been in operation since 1970 and holds the lake record of 16 pounds 10 ounces which was caught by Ed Chancy the founder of AJ’s Bass Guides in the month of May in 1977 on a black grape paddle tail plastic worm. Captain Jamie Jackson caught the second largest bass out of Lake Toho weighing 15 pounds 8 ounces also in the month of May in 1987 on a rattletrap during the 1987 drawdown. Florida bass fishing in the spring is the best time of year for catching big bass on large golden wild shiners as well as artificial lures. If it is artificial lures that you are interested in, springtime is what we consider the best time of year for fishing artificials on Lake Toho. It is not uncommon to catch a 5 bass limit weighing over 30 pounds on artificials at this time of year. 2023 has been one of the best years that we have seen for catching trophy-sized Lake Toho Florida bass in a very long time. As we move into the spring months this type of fishing will continue and the outlook for this spring may be the best that we have seen yet for catching a Lake Toho trophy. Also 2023 has been one of the busiest years that we have ever experienced in the 53 years that we have been in operation and even though we have 12 full-time captains working for us we recommend reserving your date as early as possible while we still have one of our professional full-time Lake Toho bass guides available. Looking forward to seeing y’all soon and bass wishes, Captain Jamie Jackson
