The crappie were biting consistently at Toledo Bend




“They’re staging up to make their move in the wintertime before the spawn next spring feeding real hard on shad, and they’re very fat.” Tim Bye of Luling said his group wrapped up with 155 crappie — which equated to a whopping 49 pounds of fillets. “We were on the back side of the moon phase this week, and it looked like bigger fish were biting in the afternoon for me,” he said. “I had some really nice fish this week. I cleaned a lot of fish in the 1 ½- to 1 ¾-range.”

Bye said he would focus on brush piles, or on pilings at the Pendleton or Lanan Bridges in about 20 feet of water.

Toledo Bend Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 2)

SLOW. Water stained; 62 degrees; 1.18 feet below pool. Water temperature is holding right around 60-64 degrees and the lake is on the rise. Bass are good in 1-6 feet of water with frogs, wacky worms, senkos, and Texas rig lizards. Post spawned fish are starting to show up in 8-12 feet on shallow running crankbait in shad color, or Carolina rigs. If the lake continues to rise, the bass will to the flooded bushes. Crappie fishing has slowed while the creeks are muddy, but as the water clears road runners and tube jigs with 1/16 ounce heads.will be productive. Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing.
