Hey fellas, Im wanting to take a little trip and take my dad fishing where his dad took him Which is toledo bend . He hasnt been there in a while and I have only been there once. Does anyone have areas that might be good starting points for us or maybe some lure suggestions, should we fish the banks or creeks\channels, grass lines, pads etc....

Are their any baits or colors that are working better than others right now.  :-? :-?

2-14' depths; early & late or during cloudy conditions.

1/4-3/8 oz spinner baits over the grass, top water lures (your favorite will work) worked along points as will small/medium crank baits. Wacky worms, light Texas rigs, & split shot rigs on outside grass lines

During middle of the day, move out to 18 to 28 feet & with Texas, Carolina rigs & drop shot. DD14 & 22 in medium to deep depths.

Schooling bass are increasing; with current moon phase the schooling activity has been the best in the afternoon.

Catt,

     Fished for 3 days, I couldn't tell ya if the lake was fishing like a lake like it has for many years past or as a river.

   Past years, Fork and Twakoni was low and had no water to release, but the last 18 months, Twak and Fork have been full and lots of water has been making to T Bend.

  They have been cycling those gates off and on.   Noticed they'll drop it about 4 ft and shut the gates.

   I hit my ridge, had grass on the 16ft range and off course the drop off of 50 ft.

     Had the 2-3 lb bass dialed in, but the bigger ones didn't show up.

  Was told that the bass had just moved into the grass at six mile about a week ago and that jig bite was starting to progress.

Big worms produced first light and mid day.    Slow in between.     Chris and I caught about 20 on that ridge.

     WE would of had about 12-13 lbs each day in that one spot.     No one else around us caught them like we did, and I saw all kinds of presentations.

Couldn't of ask for better weather, I mean we didn't get blowed off the lake, so the rest was minor details.
