Subject: Toledo Bend, Texas
Submitted by Greg Crafts-Toledo Bend Guide Service & Lake Cottages (ip 216.60.177.17)
Date Fished: 1/4/2001
Water Clarity: 0 Lake Level: 169.8 ft, 2ft -4inches below high pool and rising
Clarity: Muddy to stained on the North End clearing further south
Temp: Upper 30s to mid 40s
The lake has risen 1 1/2 feet in the past two weeks and still a lot of fresh water coming into the lake. High winds, cold temperatures and bad weather have kept most fishermen on the bank.
Falling water temperatures have pushed the bass into deep water. Bite is slow and they are holding tight to cover. Jigs in black/blue, brown/orange and camo along with deep diving shad colored crank baits and spoons working best. Bite is better in the afternoon.
Cold temperatures will slow the migration of the Whites up the lake to the river proper. Concentrate on the old river channel sand-bars with slab spoons and Rinky Dink tail spinners.
The Crappie have moved into deeper water with the cold temperatures also. Concentrate in 30 to 50 ft. of water with shiners and 1/32 oz. jigs. Double rig a couple lines with a jig and a shiner on each line about 2 feet apart. Put a jig on bottom on one and a shiner on bottom on the other to see what they are hitting best. Bite has been extremely light.
