    Big bass pay lakes

    Do any of you know of any big bass pay lakes in the state that I could investigate online. I’d like to take the wife to try and catch a large fish

    I'll suggest skipping the pay lakes. Hire a professional guide.
    Best bet for sheer size in Florida, shiner fishing on Kissimmee.

    Beinville aint what it was. They sprayed all the grass and put giant carp in the lake. Wanted open water for easy fishing. And they dont allow live bait. I used to fish it twice a week and the fishing went south after they nuked all the hydrilla. This was 5 years ago but if they have continued to assault the grass than dont waste ur money. Best man in my wedding had a membership and we fished it for years but after the depletion of the grass the fishing went to shit. As a result membership was cancelled.

    Best bet to catch a trophy is to hire a guide. Rodman guides are pumping out ,8-13# bass now. Capt. Sean Rush but he stays booked. Gino Losi on Harris chain. Google or u tube hooked on headwaters, they have several guides . Plenty of big bass guides on Okeechobee. Beinville is a pay lake but isn't known for giant bass. More of a numbers lake of 4-8# bass

    Viera Bass Lakes, I think that is the Name. They do Guided Trips on their Private Lakes they use for Irrigation Purposes.

    Headwaters, and Other Area Lakes. One of the Best There Is-Period.

    Kenny will Taylor Your Trip to what YOU want. Live Shiners-All Artificial-MIX. Teaching or Catching.
    I know this Guide Personally and I've never heard a bad word from any of his Clients.



    Kissimmee Chain would be Chuck Pippen, Hands Down Best Guide on the Chain.
