I live up in Jax now myself, but I used to live down that way.  Are you just looking for some intel on what's going on down there currently?

I haven't been to Toho in some time, but I can give you a few pointers. For current conditions, you need to contact a guide. Toho has some great ones.  March is a great month on the Kissimmee Chain.  I ran a guide trip to Toho in March some years back.   The father and son I took out wanted to catch bass on artificials.  I dumped a box of Devil's Horse lures on the deck and told them to get busy.   In three days they must have caught over 100 bass to six pounds.  Hydrilla is ever present in Toho, so expect to be fishing in cover.  Look for open areas in the grass.  Most of the bad cold fronts will be over by then.  You will find bass in every stage.   The lake will be full of bass fry.   A great lure is a Zoom fluke pulled through the grass. If you are going to hire a guide, make sure you tell the guide what you expect before leaving the dock.  This will avoid misunderstandings. Wish I was going with you.  Good Luck!

My favorite area is Brown's Point.  Don't be afraid to get back in the cover.  The fish will be shallow that time of year.

Sorry, I haven't been back on the site in a bit so I just saw your answer.  If you're just looking for a current fishing report, I would have said to talk to Mark or Cody at Big Toho Marina, but they aren't running it anymore and I'm not sure if the new owners are into fishing like they were.

 

You could talk to the guys at Toho Marine in St. Cloud.  A few of them are avid fishermen and might be willing to give you some information.  Everyone else I know down there is too tight lipped lol.
