Lake Kissimmee
At different times of the year other parts of the chain can get HOTTER than a firecracker and yield great catches. Lake Kissimmee is one of those lakes that can and has proven to be a big fish lake. Lake Kissimmee is 44,000 acres and one of the most beautiful lakes in the state of Florida.
Lake Kissimmee is world famous for it’s catches of big largemouth bass, yet the fishing pressure is fairly light due to the expanse of vegetation, and the many places for bass to hide out and ambush baitfish. It is entirely possible for a bass to live to a ripe old age without many encounters with anglers, since there are places which are impossible to reach with any conventional boat.

The four pools are considered to be East, West Middle and South Pools. There is limited public access to this chain with only one public boat ramp. The Shore line of the Conway Chain of Lakes is completely developed. The total size of the combined lakes is almost 1,800 acres and the water is clear.

Butler Chain of Lakes
The Butler Chain of Lakes was formed as a result of a typical Florida occurrence known as topography which happens with others as the Conway Chain of lakes. The earths bottom called limestone, which underlies most of Florida, was slowly dissolved by water to form sinkholes. A series of sinkholes that formed over time produced the sparkling, pristine Butler Chain of Lakes. Many areas within the lakes can be as deep as 30 to 40 feet. The chain of lakes, Down, Wauseon Bay, Butler, Louise, Isleworth, Tibet-Butler, Chase, Blanche, Sheen, Pocket, and Fish, have been designated by the Department of Environmental Regulation of the State of Florida as “Outstanding Florida Waters” due to their excellent water quality and wildlife habitat.
Consisting of clear water, deep ledges, visible and submerge vegetation, the Butler chain offers a wide variety of lure options as well as year round fishing. Schooling bass are found almost year round allowing for exciting top water action at times. Finesse techniques are also excellent choices, that are used for water that can be clear enough to see 10 ft deep on a sunny day. Techniques used for finesse fishing can be drop shot, wacky rigging for artificial fishing and shiners or shad for livebait among others.
Best times to fish the Butler chain are from October through May. This time of the year offers quality size bass in the 3-8lb range and good numbers of fish caught each day. Boat traffic can be difficult on weekends, but the cooler winter temperatures keep recreational boaters to a minimum.
Although, live bait can be used on this chain, it is a very popular Orlando fishing locations for artificial because of the wide variety of techniques available to catch pre-spawn, spawning and post spawn bass. This chain is excellent for anglers from the North and from Japan who are accustomed to deep clear water while using spinning tackle with light line. Another plus is the location of the chain which is located just minutes from Disney and Universal Studios.

Lake Walk-In-Water is nationally known for largemouth bass and its great fishing. State of Florida Fish and Game imposed a strict catch and release program. Bass measuring 15 to 24 inches must be released alive immediately. Anglers are allowed a 3 bass limit of all must be less than 15 inches, or 2 bass smaller than 15 inches and 1 bass over 24 inches.

Stick Marsh – Farm 13
We also fish the Stick Marsh/Farm 13 area about 1 hour 30 minutes from Orlando.
Created in 1987, Central Florida Stick Marsh/Farm 13 Reservoir is a trophy bass fishery. This approximately 6700-acre reservoir (3000 in the Stick Marsh and 3700 in the Farm 13 portion), west of Fellsmere and Palm Bay, Florida, at times has been one of the leading bass lake in the Central Florida area. Early in its life, it was heavily stocked with fish, both bass and crappie.
