ok i'm ready

Thank you sir I'm gonna give it a good try at daylight in the morning dad says its going to be cooler than normal wonder what that will do maybe make the topwater bite better.

Alright, dad has the boat ready and i got my poles all rigged out and I can't wait until Friday to try all this at Toledo. Thanks for all the help and I will write back when we get back home this weekend.

Thank you Sir

thanks for the help I'll show my dad and we'll try it.

ok thanks we flipped jigs yesterday but didn't catch any that way. we also tried frogs and top waters early but only had little ones striking. were going back this weekend and try Texas rig, carolina rig and senko's closer in to the visible grass. I also wondered about square bill crankbaits or wacky worms around the edge of the hybrilla mats.

the tournament is the weekend after labor day it will probably still be pretty warm. were going out of fin and feather, my dad says he would rather not have to run a long way up the lake, but when he used to fish toledo 20 years ago that was where the winning weights came from . this is the championship and I qualified for it last year on Rayburn and only came in fouth I would really like to do better this year.

yes will be 13 in a few months but have been fishing tournaments since I was 9 with my dad (team tournaments) take a look at ignition bass Youth fishing league web site or my mom has a facebook for me its hunter martindale at facebook i think. Should I throw those around the grass or brush?

Wow unbelieveable amount of info in this thread. I have only been on toledo once in the last two years but will be spending a lot of time there the next month. I have a tournament there in September for the youth championship (minor league) My dad and I came there this weekend and looked around Hurricane and indian mounds. We had trouble finding Hydrilla much deeper than 17 or 18 feet and didn't get a lot of bites in the shallower grass. We did see a lot of small schooling fish but nothing keeper size. I really like to filp jigs, and hope that will work, but not sure what to look for to flip to or if I should throw crankibaits around the shad, Thanks for the info I have learned a lot reading this site.
