Toledo Bend - Guide Joe Joslin reports that boat traffic is getting back to normal on the lake and fishing is good fro bass. The best lures have been slow sinking plastics like the Berkley Gulp Sinking Minnows and Senkos. Topwaters are taking bass over the grass. Crappie are fair to good on slow-rolled jigs in 10 to 15 feet of water.

hows it look for toldeo bend? anyone heard if the bass are hittin on anything?

Tomorrow morning there is a high tide early, which should make for some very interesting conditions if the wind holds. I would blow-off Toledo and try a run at some specks or reds with that incoming high tide.

If you just have to go to Toledo, the fish are moving back shallow and you should try top-water early, then switch to a spinner bait and/or a senko (or othr soft plastic). Grass flats and points near creek channels shouuld hold some fish, as will the back of coves where you can find bait fish.

I went to Spindletop Bass club on Fri. and was pretty disapointed. Normally at this time of yeear we'll catch 30 or so by lunch time. Fri., however, between 3 boats we only had 30 all together. Don't know what the deal was. The winds are always a challenge out there. It turned out to be windier than the 5-10 as was called for, so boat handling was tougher. That shouldn't have made that much of a difference though. Maybe they ate all night on the full moon and were just taking the 1st half of the day off????

This High-Pressure does not help matters any. It's not just Toledo bend, but just about anywhere. When this happens, try pegging a creature bait or a paddle-tail worm with a light weight and pitch into heavy cover. The fish are there, you just have to hit them on the head. If you can work a spinner bait close to cover it also might work for you.

I had about 19 lbs Sunday back near what used to be Mid-Lake KOA. I think it is just called Mid-Lake Campground now (not sure). Using same patter as listed above. Best fish a little over 7 lbs.

I've got that "offshore fever" going on now. Hopefully Cooper can keep the winds down so I can make it out. I heard that there are some really nice snapper close in.

I can confirm the snapper report for you. I had to throw back a few over 15 lbs on the last trip. Darn shame!

    • We'll see. I don't trust us. 
    • Starting pitching has been shaky the last few weeks due to some injuries outside of Hagen Smith.  He goes tomorrow, so y’all should be fine 
    • Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind? 
    • MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
