After a dry winter and lower-than-normal water levels across Central Florida, early signs are pointing toward what could be one of the strongest gator seasons in years. Here’s what I’m seeing on the water heading into 2026.

Early May is delivering some of the best bass fishing of the spring, with big schools of fish, steady action, and trophy bass already hitting the deck.

Looking for a good summer activity for your kids in Orlando? Fishing is a hands-on way to keep them engaged, build confidence, and spend time outdoors—but the experience matters more than most parents realize.

Early April is bringing steady action across Orlando’s lakes, with schooling bass, mid-lake patterns, and consistent 20–45 fish trips.

Florida’s license-free fishing days in 2026 make it easy to get out on the water—no license required on select weekends.
