Heading to Toledo Bend this weekend with some friends. We are staying in a cabin in a cove just south of 6 mile bridge. Any ideas what people are catching on? I’m very limited in my freshwater fishing knowledge so any tips/tricks of the trade are welcome!

High school tournament Saturday and Sunday this weekend so will be plenty of boats running around and won’t mind cutting you off. Pack some extra patience.

Head north to Housen Bay. An Asian man just won over 100,000 fishing there.

Go shallow and find some buck brush in about 3ft of water. Flip and spinner baits . Tried and true spawn toledo rotation. But get in line cause every body does it.

The Asian man actually caught his two biggest days on the south bank at the mouth of Indian creek due west of the dam. Just FYI. we watched him Thursday and Sunday for about 4 hours each day.

This is bad advice 90% of the time and here is why. Those pros are banking on 5-10 bites a day and are targeting big fish over 3lbs only. Weekend guys are folks making a special trip want to catch fish and have a good time. Fishing pro style is not the answer. You want to cover water and turn fish around for a good time and this is the time of year to do that and land an easy limit or 3. Not sit staring at electronics tossing at 5 fish. traps, spinner baits, flukes, jerks baits, cranks are all great options and throw a trick work or Senko for a follow up or working grass lines. You'll have a good weekend.

if you’re not going after big bass, then you might as well get you a tube of crickets and go bream fishing.

You better hope the wind dies down. If not, even the coves are pretty rough right now. Toledo can turn dangerous real quick with the wind gusting like it's been doing this week.

I have fished Toledo for many years, this is great advice. You can fish the bushes for days and never fish all of them. You are staying far enough south where there should be plenty of water in the bushes. You just have to pay attention to what the fish are doing at that particular time and you can pick up a pretty productive pattern.

If you get some warm afternoons find a grass line and throw a weightless black/blue or pumpkinseed/chartreuse Senko.

Just use a big worm hook and hook weedless, they throw great with no weight.

Let it sink a little and twitch it slow

Any red crankbait or chatterbait
