Word is Toledo is dropping to 165 pretty fast right now for some repair work SRA is planning.

I would rather them keep spraying and stay ahead of it than have whole arms choked off and not navigable.

Nice! Looks like it was a good trip for yall

I usually have my best luck going behind people beating the bank and fishing about where they are holding their boats.

The Classic is not going anywhere. BPT is a nice trendy format but their marketing team is putting their foot in their mouth a lot right now. First the commercial dogging on the traditional 5 fish format making it seem like the anglers are doing every thing but stomping on the fish. Then the video where they showed the career earnings of their anglers versus the Bass and FLW anglers.

Shhh Cat, Toledo is dead and Rayburn is on a decline!! Spread it around no use coming here, go to Fork.

Rayburn has been tough for me lately but my last trip out there landed me a tagged bass from 2018. I didnt even realize that you could get something from last years tags and ended up with $500 cash, a pair of Costas and a new Falcon fishing rod. Not too shabby for a $100 entry fee to fish on two lakes!

There is grass in Canyons, Deer Stand, Harvey Creek, Veach, Caney, five fingers, and just about any creek in the south end.

Sounds like things are heating up nicely on Toledo, with 59 over 10 caught so far this year. I am in the process of starting up my own business because offshore work is not looking good. I can not go into the details on this forum so find me on Facebook.

Sounds like yall had a good outing Red_Ranger!

What catt is hinting at is that this is a 180,000+ acre lake with 1200 miles of shore line. There are many good spawning flats. No many people are going to give away their best spawning areas on a public forum. Its fairly easy to find spawners if you are looking in the correct area of the lake during the right part of the spawn.

Well guys with 81 fish going over 10 in the last year, Toledo has been ranked the #1 fishery by Bassmaster. We also have #5 on the list within easy driving distance. http://www.shreveporttimes.com/story/news/local/2015/06/16/exclusive-toledo-bend-earns-bassmasters-fishery/28847615/

Yes strike king 6xd or 8xd

Went out today and caught about 7 black bass on crankbaits. Also caught 15-20 White bass. Fish were on main lake points in 18-25 FOW. Yesterday we had a boat idle right up to where we were fishing and idle around us graphing the spot. I like to call that bent rod scouting.

I was getting nailed on main lake points with a crankbait. But all the fish were 2-3 lbers.

Have not had much luck on rayburn lately.

If you want to hit the water and check mine out let me know. I head back offshore the 21st.

I use humminbird, updating today to the onix 8 si combo with humminbird 360. Extremely excited to get it on the water

Has anyone looked at the bass cash bash? 100 tagged fish released in toledo. Lots of cash prizes for catching them.

In the paulo gaucho area the fish were being caught on creature baits. Push your boats as far up into the trees as possible and target cypress trees. You spend as much time hung up as fishing but thats where they are.

it would have to drop really fast I believe, i think we will be fine.

No the spawn will be on for the next couple of full moons. They maybe be scattered out around all the newly flooded brush. I caught my fish slow working wacky style senkos.
