Fishing in Sunny Central Florida – Augus...
Winter Haven The dog days of summer are in full swing. Tough fishing is an understatement for trying to describe the South Winter Haven chain. As a matter of fact it’s tougher than I have ever seen it before. It’s hard enough just trying to get around, much less catch a fish. Most canals can barely be navigated, some cannot. Use extreme caution when idling through the canals...FANTASY OF FLIGHT OFFERS BOGO FREE ADMIS...

Winter Haven Post spawn is upon us. Most Bass have finished spawning and are in rest and recuperate mode. Others are rested and starting to feed veraciously as their appetite increases with the rising water temp. Although post spawn is considered to be one of the toughest periods of the year, it can also be a very rewarding period as well. Bass will congregate in large schools. They can...Sun ‘n Fun?

Winter Haven This winter seems eerily similar to last winter so far. Below freezing nights and cold, windy, days and water the water temperature hovering around the low 50’s. Bass fishing for the most part has been tough, which is usually the case, in colder weather. Most fish will continue to hold around deep structure until the weather stabilizes. As it warms more and more fish...December Fishing Forecast
Winter Haven Low water, once again, is making it tough to get around on the South chain. Lakes are down 2 + ft. below normal and dropping fast. North chain is even lower. Bass are starting to feed up more in preparation of upcoming spawn season. Find the bait and the Bass won’t be far behind. Look for large shad schools on your electronics or for schooling fish on the surface....Streamsong Resort Coming to Sunny Centra...

Winter Haven Ahhh… finally some cooler, more pleasant weather has arrived and Bass have began to feed a little more during daylight hours. The water temperature has fallen below the 80 degree mark. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the fish have also started to scatter out somewhat and move around a lot. This is what makes Bass fishing so tough this time of year....Pumpkin Time

Winter Haven For the first time in years all 16 lakes on the South Winter Haven Chain are accessible. The canal from Lake Cannon to Lake Mirror is still very shallow but can be navigated.
