Got home earlier today from The Bend so I figured I'd give yall a report. Friday: Started off fishing 20-25 ft deep on a point in mill creek and picked up 7. After that it got tough and me and my partner only managed to catch 3 more fish. 10 total with 4 keepers. Saturday: Ran to a different point in mill creek and started fishing deep and got into some schooling fish. We managed to catch 22 fish on topwater. Once the topwater bite stopped we ran numerous points/ledges/humps in mill and buck creek and picked up 20 more fish. 42 total with 15 keepers. Sunday: Ran to Six Mile and only picked up 1 fish there(5 pounder). There was a boat on every spot we wanted to fish. Decided to run back to Mill and finished the day there with 12 more fish. 13 total with 5 keepers. This morning we fished until about 10:00 am and started off in Mill where we caught all the schooling fish. They were not schooling but we fished deep on a point and caught 12 fish with 7 keepers on 10 inch worms. The wind really blew the last few days which made it hard to stay on a spot and fish. We caught most of our fish on a dropshot and on top water when they would school. Other than this morning when we caught fish on big worms a drop shot was the only thing they would bite. We tried jigs, trigs, deep cranks, and flutter spoons and the drop shot out produced all of those. Totals for the trip were 77 fish with 31 keepers. We caught tons of 2-4lb fish just couldn't get the big bite. For our second time ever on Toledo Bend I think we did pretty good. If yall have any questions feel free to ask or you can DM me.

For those of you that punch deep hydrilla, do you punch the stuff that you visibly see growing up to the surface or the scattered stuff that grows out deeper that you can't see?

Appreciate the tips guys.

Catt, yes on the far south end. I plan on launching at SRA site #7 and probably won't fish north of Six Mile.

I'd like to take a look at Buck Creek. I don't think that one has been covered but I could be mistaken.

Hi, my name is Tanner Magee and I just wanted to say hello to everyone who contributes to this thread which I have read every page of. I have been following this thread for about a year now soaking up all the info that has been generously given here. I've only been on Toledo Bend once and it was an awesome experience. Last June me and a buddy of mine went on our high school graduation trip and fished with Joe Joslin who is a great guy and I would recommend him to anyone. We caught well over 120 fish in 3 days. Ever since we left we have wanted to get back but it's hard to find time between college and work. Anyway we have a trip planned for July 15th-18th. I'm pumped and can't wait to try to catch some fish on our own. Catt, with all the info you have given I've been able to find some of the spots we fished with Joe Joslin and understand why we were fishing them. I've also been able to locate plenty of other places using the HNL map and navionics app that look like they should hold some fish. Catt, I'd also love to do some more map study if you don't mind! Thanks to everyone who has kept this thread going it is truly great!!!
