re: Toledo Bend 10 day trip coming up.

35 pounds with 5 fish is BassMasters status. They must have been site fishing and taking big females off the nest.

Yes. What I was thinking, what I posted and still what I recommend. Fish 1'-5' grass or non-grass shoreline however you want and wherever you think you can land big lunkers. Incredibly warm weather (for this time of year) predicts that. The 1'-3' water temp. has to be near 65-68 F later in each day, even if I am not there to measure water temp. of shallow water warmest sides of creeks, bays, cuts, coves, etc.

The female cold blooded bedding bass can measure that 60-70 F temperature, though.

Wow. Just reading about how you guys are doing excites me. You just know the guy catching 5 fish, 35 pounds caught and culled many other smaller fish (maybe releasing one or more 5 or 6 pounders). Don't know. Maybe. The thought is provocative.

Wish I could get back to fishing and once again fish for large bass on Toledo. Alas, I'm over 70 and can only read about current successes of other anglers. Like yourself. And other anglers on this board. My brother and I fished TB in my bass boat back when all submerged trees still had leaves on them - from the beginning. Sorry to reminisce.

This is that time of the year to catch a very large bass, guys. Good luck.
