Toledo Bend Reservoir Fishing Report
for
November 17, 2008
November is Gobble… Gobble… Good Fishing!! Hey friends and fellow anglers. Since my last report in October the crappie and bass fishing has really been excellent. Let me catch you up on what have been steady patterns for great fall fishing here at Toledo Bend. We’ll start with bass and I can tell you that the bite has really been good. There are several patterns that have been working real well since October. Early morning and late evening top water bites with Yellow Magic poppers (top water) plugs, Buzz baits, and Spinner baits. As the sun gets up the bite changes to more finness lures like Flukes, Carolina rigged centipedes, and Drop shot using small worms. The depth of water varies from 3 to 4 ft. early and late to 12 to 20+ during mid-day. If grass is present in the area that you are fishing then concentrate over the grass first then move out to the edges as the sun becomes brighter. Try these patterns throughout November and enjoy some of the best fishing of the year and possibly a Toledo Bend trophy bass. I have enjoyed some of the best crappie fishing of the year also since October so listen up. The pattern is very simple using live shiners or jigs tipped with crappie nibblets in 20+ ft of water around brush piles. With the lake level down to around 167 msl. the stumps are visible all over the lake. If you do not know where to find brush piles try fishing around stumps on the edge of creek channels with shiners or jigs and I can bet you will be successful. It may take some effort on your part to find a good area for crappie but it really isn’t that difficult. Until next time friends come enjoy some great fishing here at Toledo Bend and if I can assist you with guide service or information don’t hesitate to call. Remember to be safe and courteous to other fishermen. Hope to see you soon.
