Eastern Texas February/March Fishing

[Junk Fisherman]

So it's 20 degrees here with a foot of snow and a foot of ice so I am thinking about the future and taking spring fishing trips when I retire.  If you were taking a 2-week, spring trip in February/March to any of the Fork, Rayburn, Toledo Bend lakes, when and where would you go?  I am looking for the textbook prespawn, 50 degree, fish moving up scenarios.  Any advice is appreciated.

I’ve been to fork in march, weather is a bit of a wildcard. I would go further down but I’m just a tourist in Texas

My advice is to keep an eye on the weather, and be ready to go on short notice. Every season sets up differently, and if you make hard plans early, it's easy to miss the best action. There is usually a 2-3 week window that's really good, but again, that could be compressed or extended depending on the weather.

Usually around the full moon of March is when I plan a week long trip to Toledo Bend. 

 

As far weather ya got two choices, have the ability to go on the spur of the moment or plan for any & every possible condition.
