February bass locations
Happy New Year! Looking for a bass charter recommendation.
I don't do much bass fishing, but I need to line up a charter for the middle of February. have a work meeting in Orlando, and ne of our top sales guys recently sold his house on Lake Champlain, moved to Naples, but has has never caught a largemouth over 5#s. I feel like that should be easily reconciled.
Toho, Istokpoga and Lake O are all viable. Is there a preferred location to target big bass? Preferred guide?
Thanks in advance!

In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.

Re: February bass locations
I have zero experience with guided bass fishing in FL but it might be worth a shot to see if Jim Keith with saltwater assassin would do a charter since he loves to bass fish, I think he fishes the Harris chain of lakes.

Re: February bass locations
I have heard recently that there is an area that just opened near the "Stick Marsh" and "Farm 13" that is producing large numbers of over 5# Largemouths.
I wish I had more specific information, but this might give you a starting point.

Thanks guys! Nothing booked yet. Appreciate any other thoughts.

Re: February bass locations
I would second Farm 13/Stick Marsh. Also right next to it is Headwaters Lake, a newer area with lots of large bass.

Re: February bass locations
Headwaters Lake, that's it. I'm glad someone chimed in, it has been driving me nuts trying to remember the name.
