Hi all, New to site, great bass info on Toledo Bend.

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~

A-Jay

I really don't want to talk on here anymore but can't help but welcoming new people so welcome!

Fish are on the move !! Most fish are void of my winter time spots. Caught fish staging on secondary points and caught some trap fish.  My flipping rod also got bent in the bushes !!!!?

Fished North last weekend 1215 , Blue Lake area. Caught fish on Trap in 10 to 12 foot .

Sunday was tough.

 

 

 

Does anyone know if Jacks 944 ramp is open and if it is what shape is it in.

Thanks in advance.

Last time i put in at Jacks,it was fine.Hoping to hit the Bend or Rayburn this week after work and the weekend.Nice thing about living in Jasper,best of both worlds.

Jack's is one of the few launches that is good at any lake level & since it gets little pressure it has helld up well.

Thanks wrap and Catt. Was thinking about going to the lake in a few days and saw   The wind was predicted to be blowing hard from the Northwest and thought Jacks would be protected and I could then fish the North side of Housen.

I'd start in 944

I know that all bass don't go to the bank and spawn.  Some do it main lake on humps and ridges.  What kind of depth would they need for this?   I was thinking 3-5 ft?

I've read somewhere that largemouth bass will spawn in water up to 8' but that seems kinda deep to me.

I've caught fish on the south end off of beds in 8 ft quite a few times.  Bigger fish seem to bed deeper than the rest IMO 

I've seen nest on top of stumps out on the main lake 8-10' under the surface. 

Tommy Martin who scuba divers has proven this more than once, he's seen nest at.15'!

Oh yea! Pre-spawn & the spawn will happen long before ya think it will!

Coming to the lake next week, anyone been to Lowes creek?  Not going to make the run if the water was off color.

Fish were very active today , despite the bad weather. Found fish busting shad in 53 degree water.  Staging fish full of eggs !!  More details after sat. 

I have to say this thread and forum as a whole has helped me so much. I've lived close to toledo bend my whole life and just recently was able to purchase my own boat and really got into bass fishing, all this infornation helps me get better everyday. Anyways, went out this morning for a small club tournament and the first fish of the day for me was 6.10. Shortly after the steering cable in my trolling motor snapped and ruined what looked like a great day of fishing.  Caught him on a chrome black back trap in about 8 ft. 

Great fish TbendAngler!!  Bad luck on the steering cable though.  I'm sitting here waiting to hear results from the bfl on Toledo and ram open on Rayburn.  It's killing ,e not being out there today lol.  I know Bryan Hester fished the bfl, hopefully he did well!

Congrats Bryan on getting a check today!!

Thanks !! Tough day for sure. Had to scrap my game plan around lunch. No bites till 1:00. Went looking deep and found a couple of points with fish on them. Wish I would have made the move earlier. Oh well live and learn....

Squeaked in with the last check in the bfl yesterday. Man what a tough day. Didn't get a bite until 1. Had to scrap my game plan After lunch and salvaged a 29 place finish with just under 14 lbs. Found  a couple of points that were holding some fish. Caught all fish dragging a football jig. 

Hey, 29th very good jobs. BFL has some very good sticks.

Good job Bryan! 

Congrats Bryan! Can somebody tell me who and what won it? For some odd reason the posted results start off with second place and don't show who or what won. I see ole Darold Gleason took third with 23 and change and a 9.7 pound kicker.

Not sure who won it, but 24lbs 4oz was the weight.
