Bass_Fanatic Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I went Monday. Drizzled rain all day and caught 15 fish. Top 5 woulda been about 16lbs. Caught most fish deep on a 3/4 oz football jig. Tried shallow but didnt do much. Quote
MFBAB Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime. - Chinese Proverb  Catt,  This is an amazing thread you have given us, I think the above quote should be your signature line! I just stumbled across this one a few days ago and I am hooked, I already ordered a Hook and Line map and plan on going through the whole thread with it.  I've never been on TB and may never fish it, but I can tell that this isn't just about fishing on "Toledo Bend" per se - although I'm sure many TB anglers have benefitted immensely from it, this is about bass fishing PERIOD.  I see a lot of the posts where someone is asking for the "hot bait" or where to go for their particular fishing trip, they just want to "eat for a day"...If I am right, the real point of this thread is to teach people to "eat for a lifetime" by teaching them how to read a map, how to locate fish holding structures, migration routes, etc, and apply that info to ANY LAKE, not just Toledo. I love the way you are making guys ask you questions and think about the map a little before you add your comments, nothing good comes for free. The ones that embrace your teaching methods are going to come away from this thread with a vastly improved fishing acumen!  Catching bass isn't about a hot bait, it's about finding bass.  Catt clearly understands this and if you will take the info in this thread to heart and apply it to your own lakes, I believe you can learn everything you need to know about bass fishing anywhere from this thread!  Fortunately, I've got a few Lowland flood control reservoirs just down the road from me along I55 and from what I'm reading they are very similar to TB. Some of those pictures of the timber at low water could have been shot on my lakes You ever been on Sardis, Enid, Grenada or Ross Barnett Catt?  Thanks, I look forward to burning the oil on this one for a while Rob  PS - You oughtta give em some assigned reading, maybe Spoonplugging by Buck Perry!  Also, I know this Franken-thread has sort of taken a life of it's own, thanks to all of the others who have contributed to it as well!!

shaneus Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I guess it is time to post, have been reading for many months trying to learn and find some of those big toledo bass.....i just recently took another job so i could work a shift schedule to spend more time on the water. first i want to say thanks to catt and everyone else who has been posting for years now. this is the best forum on the net....i will try to give back a little and log my fishing days on the bend....rayburn is where i fish 99.9% of the time.....trying to learn toledo is not going to be easy  first time fishing on the bend 2-6-13 drizzled all day fished six mile south cove points where the old RR tracks run to. fished 23 fow 1oz jig caught 2 keepers lots of small fish fished around goose island with a couple small ones no keepers, threw a rattle trap, no bites, which tells me i was in the wrong place to begin with... i joined 409 bass club, this was our first tourney, guy came in with a 10 pounder and a 27 pound bag, he was catching them on senkos over grass, dont know where  im going tomorrow morning when i get off work to see if i can find more fish.....
