Largemouth Bass are the stars of the show on this trip, and for good reason. Florida is known for growing some absolute monsters, with fish over 10 pounds not unheard of in these waters. These green-backed bruisers are famous for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps when hooked. They love to hang out near structure like submerged logs, weed edges, and drop-offs. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but you can catch bass year-round in Orlando.
Redear Sunfish, also known as shellcrackers, are a fun bonus catch on this trip. These feisty panfish punch well above their weight class, putting up a scrappy fight on light tackle. They get their nickname from their ability to crush snails and other hard-shelled prey with their strong pharyngeal teeth. Look for redears near the bottom in areas with sandy or gravelly substrate. They're most active in the warmer months and make excellent eating if you decide to keep a few for the pan.
While not a primary target, you might also tangle with some hefty Catfish during your trip. Channel cats and bullheads are common in Orlando's lakes, and they can grow to impressive sizes. These whiskered bottom-feeders are notorious for their strong runs and stubborn fights. They're most active at night, but you can still catch them during the day, especially in deeper holes or near structure. If you hook into a big one, hang on tight – catfish are known for their powerful surges and head-shaking battles.

Largemouth bass are the rockstars of freshwater fishing around here. They usually run 12 to 24 inches, but can get bigger. You'll find 'em in weedy areas, near sunken logs, or along gradual shores in lakes and ponds. These guys love warm water, so spring through fall is prime time. Anglers go crazy for largemouth 'cause they put up one heck of a fight and can smash topwater lures with spectacular jumps. They've got a huge mouth (hence the name) that'll gulp down all sorts of prey. Want a local tip? Try working a plastic worm slowly around structure, especially early morning or late evening. Let it sink, then give it a little twitch. Bass often hang out in shallow water during spawning season, so that's a great time to sight-fish for the big ones. Just remember, they can be pretty aggressive, so be ready when that line goes tight!
Redear sunfish are a neat little catch, usually 6-10 inches long. Look for 'em near logs and vegetation in still waters like lakes and slow rivers. They're bottom feeders, so use some weight to get your bait down there. Spring and early summer's prime time when the water hits about 70°F. Folks love targeting redears 'cause they put up a good scrap for their size, and they're not too picky about bait. Plus, that red spot on the gill flap makes 'em look pretty unique. Here's a local trick: try using small pieces of nightcrawler or even corn on a #6 or #8 hook. Let it sink, then give it a slow drag along the bottom. These "shellcrackers" have special teeth for crunching snails, so they're used to grabbing food off the lake floor. Just be patient - finding 'em can be trickier than catching 'em!
