Y'all never heard that?

 

Bass on this lake fight like a Redneck name Bubba!

 

Small bass are called tight-eyes... their eyes are tight together!

No I sure hadn't, I guess cause I fish alone most times, or with my best friend from my home town of lake Arthur or my dad.

 

Lol but it's true lol.

    Had 30lbs today and my dad had 14lbs in our club tournament. Our best 5 combined was 33lbs. I had 3 fish between 7- 10lbs jump off. My big fish i caught was 9.5lbs.  Lots of tournaments coming up, but

  • Well two days in & only 3 fish ?   But one was tagged BassCashBash which I was registered in, it won me a 2019 Dodge Ram!

    I thought it would be appropriate to bump this thread after hearing the bad news of @Catt's passing.  I don't fish Toledo Bend but this is a very interesting read for anyone.  I know Tommy took a lot

Lol my bad, was speed reading while catching bass on a shad spawn lol.

Red Rose alumni here! 

Congrats on the nice fish Blaster. 

Just got home from the bend.  Friday we fished shallow early with limited succes until the wind calmed.  We then went across the lake to some main lake stuff and caught a few around 2-2.5lbs.  We only had a couple of hours before the wind kicked up again.  I then ran into lanan and looked around only to find nothing of note.  Saturday was spent in San Miguel because of the wind.  I probably had around 12lbs. fishing docks with a chatterbait.  As I put the boat in the trailer to leave it up there my trim went out.  So, I had to pull it back home and will need to get that fixed.  All in all it was a good time with my dad.

I aint saying nothing til y'all tell me what y'all see ;)

N 31.35162 W 93.63407

When you bring up Navionics map next to it, you see Arnold Creek, submerged road bed, and a bridge. Travel NE from the creek coming from the bridge, is some steep contour lines. Drag a football jig or c-rig all around this joint.

Catt, this area has 2 intersecting creek beds. Will anything around this hold fish, and why? Thanks.

My absolute favorite piece of structure for finding larger than average bass would have to be an intersection.

Intersection Defined: Spots where two creeks intersect or where a feeder creek intersects with the main river.

Intersecting Logic:  Around the ”Y” created by the intersection are found multiple forms of structure such as channels, points, ridges, ledges, sharp drop-offs, slow tapering drop-offs, and humps all in one location.

The Best Intersections: Depths of 12-18' inside the ”Y” is my #1 attractant but this depth on all three sides along with timber and/or grass would be the prime example of a Honey Hole.

Fishing at the “Y”: With my boat positioned inside the “Y” (usually anchored) and casting from shallow to deep with Texas Rigs, Carolina Rigs, Swim Baits & Jig-N-Craws I'll find the bigger bass. In winter months fish these areas with Jigging Baits or Drop Shots in 20 to 30' of water.

Hello all, hope all is well. I will be returning to Louisiana after being away for awhile. I am a casual weekend fisherman who is looking for a partner or friend to fish with and maybe a learn a thing or two. I have been fishing a few years so you won't have to worry about being hooked during one of my cast. Lol. If you have a boat that's great and I would pay for gas. I typically fish near pirates cove (Florine) . Thanks
