Heard of them but aint seen one, have you checked his website 

Yea but all I found was his rates for guiding fishing trips.

His son Brian Martin is selling them now.  Contact him on Facebook.

Thanks, just sent a message.

 

Toledo Tackle had the Tommy Martin cards last week.

BassnChris needs to know who's planning on attending the Jack Yates Classic on Toledo Bend March 23-28.

If y'all can make it contact BassnChris ASAP!

Ya don't need a boat

We fished Saturday morning from daylight till 1:30 Indian Mounds and caught 3 keeper sized fish 5-6 ft of water. Went back out at 4:00 till dark in six mile and caught 14 bass on a Carolina rig on a underwater point 15' deep. Only 6 were keepers. Sunday morning fished Palo Gaucho and Lowes creek from daylight till 2:00 and caught zero bass. Went back to my point in six mile about 4:00 and caught 5 keepers. Also boated two 3-1/2 and one 5 pound fish in 25' water on a creek channel bend just before dark. It was tuff fishing overall for sure. The bite was definitely better for me later in the afternoon.

Anyone know the water temp around the mid lake area ?

I was marking anywhere between 52 and 54 for the most part mid lake.

Thanks for the report june-bug. Isn't your camp around midlake? I'm on San Miguel. Headed up Thursday night for a week. Hope to give a good report. I'll probably be fishing midlake/1215 area. White basscat/yellow bolt/purple trim, stop and say hi if you see me.

 

 

Yeah Ronnie my camp is in the lil cove right on side of Goodlow Bluff on the Texas side. The east/west boat lane from cypress bend side by island will take you right into mouth of cove.  If you idle straight to the back of the cove dead center you will hit my bank. White mobile home up on the hill and  only trailer in the cove lol. I'm surrounded by big nice cabins but my place is a dream come true to me and sits on two waterfront lots. If you ever around there swing on in and drink a cold one.  I run a gunmetal,silver, red trim Phoenix 921. I'll keep an eye out for ya. Wife and kids stayed the whole week i had to come back to work. I'm headed back Friday for the weekend. Just got a text from my 13 year old and he is tearing up the catfish right now fishing off the bank on some stink bait he bought at Keiths. Good eatin!

We had a good time last year.  Hope we get a good turnout.  We didn't have a tournament last year so its really show up and have a good time.   We did eat too much.

I'm hoping to make it up for a day or two to meet everyone. I'll have to see what I have going on that week. Is Felix coming again?

I'll be there for the Easter weekend days. Can't wait!  Wish I could be there for the whole time.

I'll be going back offshore on the 22nd. Wish I could be there to meet y'all.

June-bug, i'll definitely do that when i'm in that area. It's not too often, but I do plan on fishing the front end of palo gaucho soon. It sounds like you're in a great place to with many options.

It seems like our little cove holds a lot of catfish too. That old nasty stink bait sure attracts them. Good luck this weekend.

Them cats are good in a gravy!  Just made one with crawfish and catfish for Ash Wednesday. 

Y'all seen this?

Geez louise that's a nice sacalait. A couple years ago we caught some pretty big ones like 2-1/2 pounds plus in Patroon. That one looks alot bigger.

I would also like to send out a big thanks to Catt for starting this very informative thread along with the other anglers who take the time to posts their reports, tips and ideas.  I've been lurking over the past several months, going back and reading the posts and trying to take in as much as I can. 

My brother and I purchased a boat a few years ago and have really enjoyed the time together, but realize there's a lot more to successful fishing than luck.  We spent most of our first couple of years fishing Caddo, but after a couple of trips to TB last summer we've been spending most of our time there exploring and learning different parts of the lake.

We've decided to take the advice given earlier to focus on one area and learn it well and really interested in Palo Gaucho area, but the last couple of trips hadn't produced much.  I looked at the coordinates that Zefman78 posted on 3Fed and thought about fishing around there several times, but each time the wind was too much to try it (got a small boat that doesn't handle in the wind well).  We're planning to head out there this Sunday and will likely put in at Alpine to give that area a going over.

I'll let y'all know if it truly was a better than a good day at work.

 

Any of ya'll fishing the Rat L Trap tournament on the 21st ? My son and I will be there.

I wish the trap tournament was on a Saturday, then I'd fish it. I work at a church, so kinda hard for me to fish on Sunday's lol.

draino, how y'all are?

If ya launch at Alpine check out the Palo Gaucho Flats & Spring Hill area.

Me and my son will probably fish it. Might drive me crazy though only being able to throw a trap all day lol.

I've been studying my maps and will be spending Saturday there and a couple of days next week. Mostly be a lot of riding and scanning. We don't have  much  of a chance but I enjoy tournament fishing and the only way for me to learn Toledo is to get on it.
