Fishing

If you’re after the big one, there’s no better place to find it than in Kissimmee’s sparkling lakes. Home to some of the best freshwater fishing in the South, the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes features water from 200 acres to 44,000 acres and is acclaimed worldwide for trophy largemouth bass.

Kissimmee is also the adopted home of the Barramundi, a legendary Australian sport fish. Until recently, North American anglers who hooked one of these ferocious fighters had to travel down under to do it. Now you can do battle with one of these beauties at private ponds right in Kissimmee. Bring your rod and reel or rent one. Then bait your hook, cross your fingers and spend the day fishing in the heart of Florida.
