The following Lake Tohopekaliga fishing report identifies areas around the lake that have been known to hold largemouth bass the information comes from the Florida Fish & wildlife web-site.
Area #1 Lily pads, Land bulrushes along the north shore of Fells Cove hold numbers of bass in the cooler months. Fish plastic worms along vegetation in 4-to 6-foot depths.
Area #3 Bass anglers fishing with live bait are often successful along the southeast side of Fells Cove. To catch a large bass in spring or summer, anchor near the cattails or slow-troll the weedline with an electric motor. Troll from the Fells Cove cut to Lake Ajay canal, keeping the shiners 20 feet behind the boat & near the surface weedline.
Area #2 The mouth of Lake Ajay canal produces when water is flowing after spring or summer rains. Schools of bass & bullhead catfish are drawn to the flowing water & respond to live baits or artificials. Fishing with cut bait or 4-to 6-inch shiners is a proven technique for giant catfish.
Area #4 Bass & bluegill are taken from the first 30 yards of weeds extending along the cut from the Fells Cove mouth. If it's windy, fish the entire canal all the way to the main lake. Cast topwater plugs & minnow-type lures around the grass for bass.
Area #5 The Fells Cove canal entrance holds bass year-around. Bass anglers throw lipless crankbaits into the open water or plastic worms to the weedline. Fish the area when there's a current coming into the lake & continue on into the canal for 25 to 50 yards when the bass are actively feeding. Some large catfish have been taken from this canal mouth accidentally on artificials, but cut bait is preferred by catfishermen. Fish when runoff from a rain generates a current.
Area #6 The deep hole off the Boy Scout camp is known for holding bass. Troll live shiners 30 yards behind the boat or spray cast a crankbait around the drop-off. Silver/black is a popular color for schooling bass in summer. The fish hold on the dropoff which slopes from 6 feet on the edge of the hole to 16 feet at the bottom. Fish live shiners close to the bottom. Use weedless plastics to fish the bulrush.
Area #7 This area of scattered bulrushes & grass patches holds bass year around. It is a prime wading area; some anglers hop in & tow their boat behind them with a line around their waist. Cast white & gold-bladed spinnerbaits. Plastic worms & lizards are effective in the 3-to 4-foot depths. Slowly crawl Texas-rigged plastics with 3/16-to 1/4-ounce slip sinkers through the weedline in the cooler months.
Area #8 Grass patches along the east side hold bass all year. Also work the boat cuts through & behind the densest cover in spring & fall. Weedless spoons, plastic worms & jerkbaits are effective in the open pockets. Panfishermen can catch bluegill in the summer & crappie in January & February.
Area #9 Bass can be caught throughout the entire length of the Lake Runnymede Canal. Fishing is best in late spring & early fall. Work jerkbaits, topwater plugs & vibrating lures around the masses of hydrilla along the banks. Texas-rigged plastic worms are effective when fished in & over the hydrilla.
Well I hope the 10 areas identified in this Florida lake Tohopekaliga fishing report will help on you plan your next freshwater fishing trip to Florida.
Area #10 Buzzbaits & spinnerbaits take bass from the open water around the hydrilla on the southwest side of Runnymede Lake. Fish all the pockets & cuts through the vegetation in the spring & fall. At night, crawl dark plastic worms in the same pockets. Black & purple are proven colors.
