Lake Toho (Tohopekaliga) <br>Fishing Report<br>by: Captain Chuck Matthews<br>800-936-7398<br>http://www.centralfloridabassfishing.com <br>CaptainChuck@centralfloridabassfishing.com<br>CaptainChuck@orlandobassfishing.com<br>March 31, 2002<br><br>Fishing this last week continues to be great. A few big fish are starting to show up. We are getting out of post spawn and the fish are getting aggressive. They are hammering<br>flukes on the inside. Top water baits are also doing well. And it does not have to be early to throw them. The strike zone of the fish is large. I had a bass come from about five feet away to hit a fluke watermelon in color. With the water still running out of South Port, Carolina rigs are working well. I like the chartreuse or junebug colors, centipede worm. <br><br>The mouth of Hatchinaw Canal has some nice fish and is a great place to throw a Carolina rig. It seems that with the water dropping on Toho that the big fish are moving out of the<br>shallow water. As the day moves on, a real good area is open water south of Brown’s Point. On a guide trip on Saturday, we took a 12lb bass there and this fish was released so she is still there. This fish was caught on a shiner. <br><br>Well, Happy Easter Everyone. If you have any questions or would like to book a fishing trip, just give me a call or email me.<br><br>Captain Chuck Matthews<br>Pro Bass Guide<br>A1 Action Bass Fishing Guides' Professional Services<br>http://www.centralfloridabassfishing.com<br><br><br>TIP: This is a great time of the year to use a floating worm or swim a worm. Charlie's 8in red shad is a great worm to speed worm. <br><br><br>Captain Chuck Matthews 800-936-7398
