Toledo help
 

Never fished toledo but heading up there next thursday for the weekend. staying at toledo south state park. I was thinking about hitting points and creek mouths with rattle traps or shad color crankbaits. Maybe some topwater frog or buzzbaits along the banks. anybody have good success around the south state park ?

You could go just north of there and fish the Pirate's Cove area or cross the lake to the Texas side and fish Housin, Six Mile or Indian Mounds. Now is a good time for different bait patterns. I personally like trick worms, buzz baits and zara spooks.

There was a report from a few days ago on here about punchin grass down south... shad havent made it all the way back into the bays yet. find grass around the mouths of coves/bays. pirates is a good place like suggested. mimic the shad.

I will be there next Friday and I'm staying at Pleasure Point which is just north of South TB state park. If you would like I can show you a few areas near the Texas Islands, pirates cove and 6 mile depending on the wind. FYI the lake is ~ 5 1/2' low so use caution. Shoot me a message if you want to meet up.

Yeah may have to get with ya one morning I'll shoot ya a message on here. I should be able to make it across the lake not too worried. Just never fished up there so gonna take it easy and watch the boat lanes. I was wondering about setting a trot line maybe using shad or bream for bait and just running it across a creek mouth any suggestions ?

I usually just find a bunch of tree tops and run a trotline between them. We bait them with shrimp, chicken hearts, hot dogs, mullet, and bream. I think shrimp works the best.

I never did the trout line thing at TB. I always bass fished. I have run across several trout lines usually near a creek channel ran from stump to stump. I don't know what it was baited with just trying to get my lure untangled. Anyway give me a shoot when you are ready to take a ride on the bend. Later
