nice save JIM..... coop has really been on fire the last 3 weeks... this past wednesday 4 of us had 70 in 3 hours, we would have got our limit but ran out of shiners... the quality has been really good to, we had 10 at or near 2 pounds, biggest was 2pounds 5 ounces and 17 inches long..

If you were fishing for bass and crappie, and launching from 6 mile marina next week, where would you fish?

May be a late reply but if you can get to the Community Flats in Housen there are fish there. In Six Mile I would probably fish up Sandy Creek and at the mouth of Six Mile.

anybody familiar with Fox lodge. We are planning our yearly trip but looking to go further south on the texas side.

will be fishing the Mcgee flats/ Hickory ridge area this week end have not been in about a month anyone have some advice?

BE CAREFUL!!! The Mcgee flats are holding fish, especially where there is grass, but it can be tricky to get in there. When rinning the boat lane, stay on the lake side of the bouys no matter what. Some of those humps and points come all the way out to the bouys and are very shallow. As far as fishing goes, cant go wrong with a red trap around grass right now!

Thank you for this post, I might be taking a job about 45 minutes away from Toledo bend! Come on LA!!!!

it was pretty good fished saturday from 7 till 10 30 in the am boated 11 legal fish with 5 best going 15.2 9 of those came off of 1 20 yard stretch on mcgee flats Fished late saturday evening boated 3 legal fish around 2 lb average had 2 more same size pull off fished sunday morn form 7 till 9 had 3 legal fish all between 2 and 3 lbs caught almost all of the fish in 2 to 4 ft of water on a red trap inside the grass line. Caught around 3 of the fish in the 8 to 10 ft range. Had a 4.8 a 3.2 and a 3.0 on sat all in the 2-4 ft range. Was there a tourney this week end? alot of boats running

some type of tourney every weekend on the bend, go to toledo-bend.com and click on tournaments and you'll see a list of all the big tourneys.... hundreds of small club tourney's throughout the year.......

heard it was the V&M championship I meant a big tourney not club

v and m is a small tournament...... throught out this season they never had more than 30 boats fish any of their tourneys..... there was probably several tourney's going on...

Any reports from Toledo Bend this past weekend. Heading up Thursday. Like to fish mid lake area.

But open to go down to Houson, etc one day.

Also would like to catch one mess of white perch. Any help here is greatly appreciated. I heard the

chicken coop, but last year when i went they had all the places tied up.

How do you guys fish the deep water for white perch. line setup ,, etc.

thanks guys

Last weekend they were shallow and the best bite I had was on a red eye shad im not a big lipless crank guy but it easliy out produced all other offerings for me last weekend any point I found that was flat and shallow on top and dropped to deep on the sides held fish. Did not catch 1 fish all weekend that was not on a point. They could be other places but after the first couple of hours of trying other places I went to just fishing points.

Hobo,

What part of the lake were you fishing?

I caught most of them off a 20 yard spot on mcgee flats I also had a few on points in the hickory ridge area

I did read that the texas oilmans tourny was cancelled for 2012 does anyone know about the LA oilmans tourny. I'm just trying to avoid the huge tournaments as I'm scheduling our trip.

Just found this site very interesting I have questions for you Catt

1.My camp is at Toledo Bend Resort and I fish from Pirates Cove south up to Six Mile,have you fished pirates cove ? if yes what is your most productive way of catching fish there ?

2. I like fishing the Texas island exspecially the along the north side where there is a big rocky point that goes out to very deep water , I have tried alot of ways but can't seem to catch alot of fish there but it is such a good looking spot to me I always have to stop and fish it before heading to Mill Creek(which will lead to my 3rd question)How would you suggest I attack that rocky point ?

3. What is your favorite way to fish Mill Creek ?

That rocky point on the northwest corner Tx island is a good summer/fall/winter place to fish.. i personaly have caught many fish there, I usually carolina rig that point... If you're gonna fish mill and pirates anytime in the next week or two, concentrate on secondary points near creek channels.

Thanks Six-Mile C-Rig P will be there Feb-20-25 and then the first week of April for sure

bayouXpress,

The LOBI has been cancelled for this year.

You arent fishing the annual Shriner's boat show!? lol

just a little report....

Fished today 1/28 from roughly 7-1. Wind was ridiculous on the way to the first fishin hole.

The pattern was consistant all day. The fish were in creek channel bends and on the edge of flats very close to the creek channels, ranging from 8-15 fow.

Caught fish on multiple presentations, cranks, spinners, jigs, and plastics.

Pics of the best 2 from today, a 4.0 and a 6.0

Beautiful Bass Six-Mile! I'll be heading up to Toledo next week and it can't get here fast enough!

Spawning areas what are some of the top spawning areas in the part of the lake you fish? I fish the hickory ridge 6 mile area and mainly fish the very back of hickory ridge and Mcgees landing area both can be very good at times but both are dry this year
