What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard with Captain Corky, you're getting access to some of the best bass waters in Central Florida. Depending on what the fish are doing and what season you're fishing, you might find yourself casting into the productive shallows of Lake Istokpoga or working the structure around Lake Placid.

Techniques & Seasonal Tactics

Bass fishing around Sebring changes throughout the year, and Captain Corky adjusts his approach to match what's working best. During the cooler months, you might find yourself working deeper structure with slow-moving baits, while summer trips often focus on early morning topwater action or targeting shaded areas during the heat of the day. Spring brings some of the most exciting fishing as bass move shallow for the spawn, making them more aggressive and easier to locate. Corky's tackle box is loaded with everything from Texas-rigged plastics and spinnerbaits to topwater plugs and crankbaits. He'll teach you when to use each technique and how to work different lures effectively. The lakes around Sebring offer diverse structure – from grass lines and cypress trees to boat docks and drop-offs – so you'll learn to read different types of water and understand where bass like to hang out in each situation.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth bass are the crown jewel of Florida freshwater fishing, and the lakes around Sebring consistently produce some beautiful fish. These bass are aggressive predators that can grow well over five pounds in these productive waters, with the occasional trophy pushing into double digits.

Spring and fall are prime times when bass are most active, but skilled guides like Captain Corky know how to locate them year-round by adjusting techniques and targeting different depths and structure. During the spawn in early spring, bass become territorial and will aggressively strike lures that invade their nesting areas. Summer fishing focuses on early morning and late afternoon when bass are actively feeding, while winter requires a more patient approach targeting deeper structure where bass hold during cooler water temperatures.
