Going to change up summer plans a bit and want to rent a lake house at Toledo bend for a week this summer. Parents bring up their ski boat so looking for a part that has good depth for tubing, wakeboarding, etc any recommendations on areas or any specific houses if you have experience would be greatly appreciated.

If you want water sports go to south end by the dam. Much less concern for stumps down there. We have a place at Indian creek that is on VRBO. We ski and tube right in front of camp. It’s sandy so when lake level drops we have a beach. Toledo bay by the dam is wide open for tubing.

Go to the south end of the lake. North end is stumps and trees

South end is so much more grass and deep water.

Wildwood resort in Zwolle is cheap with good cabins and a good boat launch. If you have a decent boat you can run south pretty easy

Pretty sure the Miller's Bay area has a decent amount of open water. You can find lots of places to stay in the general area.

Look at Vrbo Toledo bend and pull up map. Go to furthest south part of Toledo bend, it’s at the end of twilight street, it’s a peninsula. Property Id is 3283130

It takes me about 20 minutes it seems to run from a camp very near Wildwood to Tennessee Bay/Negreet Creek (Roughly 16 miles). I'd trailer South if I wanted to get down around J&L, the dam, or Indian Creek on the TX side. It has to be about 30 or more miles between Wildwood and the dam.

That said, I agree, the South end is where we always water skied and tubed.

If you had to pick a week in March to go bass fishing in March when would it be?

Man, March can be all over the place year to year. If the weather has been mild, early is killer. OTOH, late is generally safer. Bottom line, if I am going after bass, I go early. If I want to do a combo bass/perch, I go mid/late.

The big thing is what all this rain going to do warm it up mid lake or cool it off?

I imagine water in 40’s right now.
Low in the creeks and higher in the lake.
I haven’t been in a month or so just guessing from past experience.

I have crushed them in mid-February wearing a T-Shirt and shorts, and I've damn near froze to death in March wearing Columbia bibs when I couldn't buy a bite.

It's all about watching the weather and stringing together a week or more of mild/warm temps.

Yup. Overall, I have probably done better in February than March, but as you say, it's all about the stretch of temps. My one absolute best trip, and I though maybe I was dreaming, was in mid March.

I stayed up there and it was 60 degrees and a few days later it snowed a few years ago either late March or early April. Did well on the bass on the grass beds while the light snow was falling.

If you’re looking to come and catch shallow spawners, I’d plan the trip around the full moon in March. Come the week before the full moon leading up to it. THose 3 days before the full moon have always been my best. But, I’m partial to catching prespawners offshore. Early March is the time to do that.
