Anyone been to Toledo Bend lately?
 

Planning on going to the Bend on 2/01/16.
Wondering if the bass had moved up yet.

I have heard some reports of shallow catches, but the best reports have been the typical stuff you do this time of year-traps, swim baits deep spinners and C-rigs. The shallow fish have come on square bills and spinnerbaits. If the water you fish is not too stained, always have a Rapala SR-05 tied on.

Buddy of mine went last Wednesday. Hurricane bay. They had 12 keepers. Majority caught in 15' water.

Well, there is a warming trend up there starting Friday 1/29. I'm hoping it might rev 'em up a bit. Thanks for the replies.

Me and buddy were suppose to go that same day, he canceled me out and taking someone else!!! Cant loose with Kudzu!!

Kudzu!!!!!!!!
Another buddy of mine says he's been slaying bass on Sam Rayburn with a green pumpkin/ blue flake Brush Hog.

I have a buddy that's been fishing around pirates cove area, been doing really well with a pumpkin seed lizard cut with a half inch shappie twa tail

Anyone else been to Toledo or heard any reports?

Read a recent article discussing a tournament winner's strategy. Deep on crank baits and swim baits on one of those spinner jig heads. Somewhere near or in tenn. Bay.

I was kind of thinking of starting 4-8 feet, looking for grass lines near deeper water on points.

Maybe Indian Mounds if wind allows me to cross the lake in my 15x48 aluminum.

SSW winds 10 to 25 this weekend.


Good luck.

If you can't find good grass, or don't have any confidence in what everyone else is doing point hopping is always a good start. S wind will be chunking all weekend, be safe.

Thanks. I'm mainly fishing Arnold Bay / Diamond Cove. Indian Mounds are basically straight across the lake from us, but high winds/ waves can cancel that out for me.
Going up Sunday with Monday being the main fishing day. May use Sunday to scout out some spots with the depth finder. My small flat/bottom boat and high winds don't get along well. Thanks for all yall's info.

Going again tomorrow 2/12 and Sat. 2/13.
Any fresh info? About to have a few warm days.

I will be up there tomorrow Thru Sunday

Good luck y'all!

I think you'll be fine these days... pressure will be a little high so may have to slow down a tad, but fish are definitely going to be moving today. Some may lock on

Going tomorrow, but today is the day. Winds switch to N/NE at 10-15 for Saturday. I predict I do not get a bite.

I freaking lost a monster today definitely 10 plus!
