Toledo bend help
 

Never fished the Bend before, got a company tournament next Friday and was wondering if someone would point me in a good direction, will be staying at N State park. Any good spots near the park? Good baits ,colors to try ect.... Ill be fishing in my x press next to these big ole 50,000 bass boats but I wanna show them I can catch one or two. Any help will be appreciated, PM me if you will and thanks!!! Don

I fish that area a lot. As you leave the launch, you will be on a huge flat. Good bass fishing in the area. You will probably see a lot of boats as that is a popular place to fish, in fact I may be there Saturday. Depending on weather, you will have to determine whether they are on the shoreline are a little deeper. Bass Kandi Sweet Stiks and Kandi Stiks in watermelon red are a good choice along the shoreline. Rattletraps and spinnerbaits are always good this time of year. And don't worry about that xpress boat, as that is what I fish out of also.

Rayburn Red or Toledo Gold traps and one knockers. Fish the banks and the flats with grass on them.

Lots of luck to you Don! Let us know how it goes!

I'll be up there runnin catfish lines. You're right on the 1215 flat. Put in and start fishin.

You guys are great, thanks for the help.....Its a once a year tournament the company throws so its going to be fun, just hope to catch a few fish. Any particular color or style spinnerbait?

Pretty much any color as long as it is white/chartreuse.

Thanks Jchief

never fished toledo, but watermelon red flukes worked slowly along the banks or on tops of grass are always hard to beat any where, I'd think..

Just spent the weekend there fishing for slabs, but every bass fisherman i saw was throwing alabama rigs loaded up with storm baits. they werent catching alot but they were catching decent fish. i was fishing near hemphill and palo gosh area.

My partner and I won the P&G company tournament Friday, thanks for the help guys!!! We weighed in 8 fish combined for a weight of 39.4lbs I also had big fish that was 7.6 lbs We fished the banks in the 1215 area and caught on Spinner baits and watermelon flukes and watermelon red brush hogs!
