Toledo Bend Reservoir Fishing Report
for
February 16, 2013

FEBRUARY REPORT . Bass: Good. Start your day out in 8' to 15' of water using your electronics to find drains or ditches leading into spawning flats. Then use a 7'3" medium action TFO rod paired with your favorite reel and spooled with FINS braid to throw a xr75 black back /gold body or royal red xcalibur one knocker. The other way we are catching these staging fish is on a DD14 or a 5XD in red/black black/chartreuse or coachdog/firetiger rigged on a 7' 9" TFO medium action rod and 15# fluoro carbon line. The other option is in 2' to 5' around patches of grass with one of two baits, a chatter bait or a hollow body swim bait in sexy shad or fire tiger, fished on a TFO 7' 9" medeium/heavy action rod with 20# fluoro carbon in the same areas. We are also fishing 1/2oz to 5/8 oz jigs in black / blue or brown/purple with matching trailers on a TFO 7'9" heavy action rod and 65# FINS braid. The key is to drag the jig on the bottom, not hop it. As the water warms make sure to get a of Fying Fisherman polarized glasses and be looking for bedding fish. Crappie Good have started towards backs of creeks to spawn road runners in black/ chartrues or orange seem to work best . Catfish Exellent in 2' to 16' of water in creek bends anf flats at backs of creeks. Can be caught on liver or live bait. Remember to take a kid fishing and when it tugs on the line... SET THE HOOK!!!!
