Toledo Bend - TX,Huxley
Weekly Fishing Report
The lake level is 172.05 ft msl and rising, (high pool 172). SRA is running both generators from 1 to 8pm discharging 204 cfs. Water clarity is stained in some areas from high winds and rain. Water temp is running in the 80s. Note: A number of river channel buoys are missing or have blown out of the channel from high winds. Caution should be used when running the channel.
Early morning work top water plugs, buzz baits, spinner baits, soft and finesse plastics over and in pepper grass, lily pads and shallow hydrilla. With the high water the fish will remain shallow on cloudy days. When the sun gets overhead back out to deeper water and work main lake ridges and humps, main lake and secondary points and creek channel ledges and shelf with Texas or Carolina rigged soft plastics and deep diving crank baits. Keep a trap, top-water plug or shallow diving crank bait handy for schooling bass.
The White Bass have been scattered this week and the bite has been slow due to the rising water. Once the lake settles down they will be holding along the old river channel sandbars in 13 to 20 ft of water. Slab spoons and tail spinners working best. Watch for schooling fish along boat lanes, timber-lines, main lake points and flats close to the river channel. Keep a trap, shallow diving crank bait or top water plug handy when they start schooling.
Crappie holding in 12 to 25 ft of water over and in brush tops at the mouth of the creeks before they dump into the river channel. Shiners or jigs productive.
Some bream still in the shallows spawning but a lot have moved back into deep water. Crickets working best.
