Wind, rain and a hint of fog for the second Kissimmee tournament of 2026.  The club had 13 teams attend at Joe Overstreet Ramp for the sixth tournament of the SCBF.  There was some fog that blew in from the west to give a 15–20-minute delay for takeoff from first light. A battle for the top three had 17+ lbs. with 8.37 lbs. Big Bass brought to the scales by Alan Elder. The first-place team for the second month in a row was Fred Reid and Dan Keyes. Spinnerbaits, Senko’s, Chatter Baits, and big Trick Worms were used by the top 3 to bring in those bags.

Welcome to the fifth tournament of the SCBF season at the Alligator Chain of Lakes. Historically this chain of lakes has produced heartache among anglers with peak ten-pound bags and searching for slot fish meeting the minimum of twelve inches.

The last tournament of 2025 took place at the freshly rebuilt Leroy Wright ramp at Lake Poinsett, and it was a close one. We had to swap some lakes around for the repair of the ramp from the previous schedule. The conditions for weather and water level were spot on for a great day out fishing for the 14 teams that came out. Fishing the home waters of SCBF of Brevard where the waters flow north and hydrilla fields can only be found in roadside ditches and ponds. 

Construction on the Leroy Wright Recreation Area boat ramp on the north side of 520 is complete and the ramp is open.  Happy launching and good luck practicing for the December tournament on Lake Poinsett!

Big Toho Marine in Kissimmee was a busy place in the wee hours Sunday. There were two other tournaments taking place, a club from GA Boys Tournament Trail and Teen Sportfishing Association of Tavares. We had 14 teams take off at first light battling wind and spotty showers throughout the day. Everyone in the club brought five fish to the scales and we had a big bass battle, Dwayne Haga VS Brian Davidson. Brian was able to tip the scales by 0.03 LB. to take the big bass pot.

    There were 17 teams that met up at East Lake Toho early Sunday morning to pay their dues, sort paperwork and lock in their spot. Sixteen of the teams filed out to their fishing spots across the lake to put 5 lunkers in the well.  A sunny start to the day with spotty rain and overcast in the afternoon.  We did have a dry weigh in for 15 teams.  The three top teams received their payouts, and the big bass was caught by Fred Reid on a Junebug Paddle Tail worm, and it earned them 2nd Place overall.

Sunday August 25, 2024 saw the top 10 teams and a Wild Card travel to their favorite “Mud Hole”, the Miami-Garcia impoundment for the 2024 SCBF Classic. On arrival they were met with the customary hoards of hungry mosquitoes. At safe light the teams took off in their order of finish for the year with Fred Reid and John Kinchen leading the pack. The Wild Card team of Raymond Taylor fishing alone did the honors of calling boat numbers.

On Sunday 7-28-24, Space Coast Bass Finatics held their final tournament of the regular season on Lake Washington with 13 teams coming out to finish their season strong battling Mother Nature’s July heat wave. The rain and wind cooperated most of the day but the heat was definitely a force to contend with as the temperature went well above 90 by mid morning with high humidity and very little breeze to offer relief.
