re: UPDATE: Toledo Bend Day 5..New Hoist..Sac Au Lait going bezerk!

Just throw across the dead grass on points and around the boat docks. Also, don't be afraid to throw in the middle of the bays. If you have a good depth finder, look for the creek/river beds. That freeze killed a lot of the shallow grass. If yoru hit grass stop a second. That particular bait (I'm not lying about the amount of fish we caught on that bait and now the crappie are hitting it too) doesn't float all the way up, it'll just suspend. But I've caught several stopping and then reeling right about the grass. Find the warmest water and fish the coves.... The fish are moving in to spawn now and will do that for about another 6 weeks typically. Just keep in mind most of those coves are not real deep. So that bait goes 2-4 feet... Depending on how fast you reel. Use 10 lbs line. If you are going to crappie fish use 4-6 lbs line with a jig (blue and white or blue and black) and put that little crappie yellow ball bait on your hook. You can simply troll and leave your line in the water. Caught several big sac au lait this way. Fish early early and don't leave in the evenings until everyone else is gone and you can't see anymore. We caught so many fish late in the evening. They really started to get real active when you see the sun hit the trees on the Texas side... Looking towards the Indian Mounds area. Fish Yokum and the cove where bird Island is.... Go deep in there. That's where our camp is and it's just a great spawning area.
