Sir Fusses' Bachelor Party Prologue

Tomorrow, we leave for  Port Canaveral, Florida, from where we will get onto a large cruise ship, and set sail for the Bahamas - Nassau, specifically, for Sir Fusses' bachelor party.  No, we are not going deep sea fishing.  So why is this on my blog you ask?  Well, just because we aren't deep sea fishing, it doesn't meanwe will not be fishing at all.  In fact, we will be arriving in Orlando on Wednesday night (if everything goes according to plan), where we will stay overnight before boarding the cruise ship the next afternoon.  That leaves all of Thursday morning for something... what to do in the Orlando area for 4 morning hours?

How about giving my old friend Captain Dean Puller of Gators Big Bass Guide Service to show us what we can do for 4 hours.  If you recall, Musky and I hired Captain Dean to show us around Lake Conway, and he put us on some good bass.  So, with his proven record with me, we decided to hook it up again.  This time, we will be arriving during the pre-spawn/spawn/post-spawn period(s), which should be a new fishing experience for all of us since bass season is closed during the majority of this period of the year.

Captain Dean took Musky and I to Lake Conway in December.  Although the clear waters of Lake Conway produced some good bass for Musky and I, Sir is hoping that Captain will take us to Lake Toho.  From Wikipedia:

Lake Tohopekaliga Tohopeka [fr
om tohopke /(i)to-hó:pk-i/ fence, fort]}; Tohopekaliga [from tohopke /(i)to-hó:pk-i/ fence, fort + likv /léyk-a/ site] Lake Toho, West Lake, or simply Toho for short), native name meaning "we will gather together here", is a lake in Osceola County, Florida, United States. It is the primary inflow of Shingle Creek, which rises in Orlando. It covers 22,700 acres (91.86 km2), and spans 42 miles (68 km) in circumference. It is linked to East Lake Tohopekaliga by Canal 31 (St. Cloud Canal). The canal is 3 miles (5 km) long and runs through western St. Cloud. South Port canal is located at the southern tip of the lake and links it to Cypress Lake. It is 4 miles (6 km) long. Three places surround the lake, Kissimmee on the northwestern shore, Kissimmee Park on the eastern shore, and South Port at the southern shore. Lake Tohopekaliga is the largest lake in Osceola County and is known for its bass fishing.

Lake Toho is so well known for its bass fishing that it hasbeen host to many tournaments.  Let us hope that Lake Toho gives us one of its giant bass when we fish there Thursday morning.  You will know one way or the other.
