So Yall Want To Learn Toledo Bend?

[Catt]

Well that was fun!

 

Saw one weighed in right at 10# & couple 7#.

 

Love listening to all the dock talk! 

 

3-4 standing around saying the spawn is over & all the fish back offshore.

 

ROFLMAO!

The rest were caught from march 15th to May 9th

 

My most productive time frame is from the July full moon until the September full moon with August being the most productive. Ya gotta understand I night fish from April through October. 

 

The majority came from grass, Hydrilla, Coontail, & Milfoil. 

[Back to Front]

Yesterday caught 16. Only 4 were keepers but 2 were over 4lbs. All caught on T-Rigged Senkos in Housen. Very shallow on the grass edges. This was my first time in Housen in over a year and I was pleasantly surprised with all the hydrilla. It covered the whole cove.

Lil help please.

Where can I find a schedule for all the stinking tournaments?

The T Bend website I used to use has gone to crap and the Lake Caster paper leans toward all the Rayburn stuff.

 

Used to show the dates for every single tournament .

I can’t find that info anymore.

[Corkpuller]

Catt, that’s the site I was talking about.

It don’t give you no dates, just lists different tournaments.

some of the dates say 2017, 2019,,,,,,??
 

Im looking for something that lists each month and a day , and all tournaments scheduled for that date. 
Lake Caster used to do it. 
 

like such >>> March 11   Bass Champs @ Cypress Bend

                         March 12  Bubbas Classic @ Fin and Feather

    

[Catt]

Well that sucks!

 

Visited that site for years

 

Lot of those tournament trails no longer exist. 

[RockNReelN]

I had heard that website was for sale. Not sure though.

[Catt]

Someone please verify this!

 

This is the 48 double digit since May last year. I count 43 since January 1.

Sounds about right to me, I've seen 3 fish including that one checked in over the last week.   IIrc one was caught in a tourney.  

[A5BLASTER]

Looks correct to me. I seen it posted to toledo bend fishing reports.

[Catt]

43 double digits in 87 days!

 

That's insane ?

When I'm targeting LM...same, but I start in July and go through December depending on when the winter temps start. In that time frame I'll go to whitney dam or PK at daybreak for stripers/wipers, and the outlet below Ray Bob for blue cats and gar mid morning. Should be some good fishing below the dam this summer with all the water thats been let down to Lewisville, that logjam between Bob and Lewisville stops up a lot of life when there's not big cu/ft moving. More or less stocking via army corps LOL.

Big tournament on the bend starting today. What's the winning weight going to be Catt?  

[Catt]

Consistent!

 

Putting together a single day big sack is hard enough but for 3 days...IDK 

 

This is the time of year for big sacks...I'll go with 60+/- a couple.

[AlabamaSpothunter]

Man I'm pumped about the Bass Open event there this weekend. 

Ben Milliken does these incredibly in depth videos after these tourneys are over.  

 

I can only imagine how helpful they will be for people who fish the lake.   

 

I got Ben in the top 10, and I could very easily see him winning it given it's a big Bass factory firing on all cylinders.   

 

Will a DD be caught, and if so will more than one get weighed?   I think somebody will catch 8-10lb fish easy.   

 

ETA:  10:45 the leader already has 5/19+, hope they bring monsters across the stage.

I think that's a good guess. Someone will figure em out. Thanks!!

[AlabamaSpothunter]

8.12 was just caught.......now that's what I'm talking about!  

[Catt]

Lot of locals ain't fishing it but we still should see a 30+# sack.

[AlabamaSpothunter]

Chris Kingree's 8lb+ fish....looks post spawn to me.  

[A5BLASTER]

It's going to take 58.87lbs to win it.

The first Open on Lake Eufaula with only two days won it with 48.9.   

 

Right now they are producing very similar sized weights, so I'd say 60 is a safe bet for 3 days.  

 

Weigh in is starting now.  

[AlabamaSpothunter]

So what are the guys using that caught the 17-20lb sacks?

 

In Eufaula it was the guys that went offshore and got prespawn fish staging with DD cranks.

 

Bama boy just brought in 20lb 7ozs.   Let's go.

The entire lake is in pre-spawn, spawn, post spawn with any technique working shallow to deep.
