Subject: Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend
I have been flip-flopping back between both lakes so I decided to make one report for both. The bass fishing is excellent on both lakes right now, the key is being in the right spots. At Rayburn the bass are stacked in the back of the coves. Many are moving up and are starting to spawn others are sunning themselves in the openings at the backs off these spawning pockets. The best bait on these fish have been Gambler Swacky worms in grn/pmk or junebug. I have been using a Fin-acky hook (weed guard/ weighted) because some of these fish are way back in the bushes. Other baits that are working are flukes and jerkbaits. You can still catch fish out away from the bushes in 7 -14ft of water on spinnerbaits, carolina rigs, traps and crankbaits but the shallow bite has been consistant for both numbers and size.
Toledo Bend is fishing very similar but there are lots more fish on the beds. The bite was a little slower this morning but began picking up at 10am and was in full swing by 1:00pm. Jerkbaits, flukes, wacky worms were the ticket today. Most of the fish caught came in 1-4ft of water that ranged from 58 -63 degrees. Once it got up to 63 the fishing was easy. We saw one fish that would have gone 9#s and 2 others over 7#s, maybe tomorrows clients can hook into one.
Yester we caught more fish on spinnerbaits and carolina rigs. We rigged inside grass lines in 5-8ft of water.
