toledo bend cool weather hot action

[Mark Robinson]

The water level at toledo bend is about 9 ft low. the recent cool weather has droped the water temp to the mid to upper 50's. the big slab crappie are bunched up on the river channel and feeding like crazy. a typical trip is producing limits (50) of good to great sized crappie. yesterdays 1/2 day trip totaled about 75 slabs all over 3/4 lb and one hitting the 3 pound mark and others above 2 lbs.verticle jiging and casting are both paying off. Anyone interested in a trip of a lifetime get in touch with me, email, or phone 936-368-2211.

Hey Jigster & Big Dave-I saw his post today and called him within 10 minutes of his post. Called him immediately and was impressed so I booked a full day trip with him Friday December 2 for myself and Kingfisher. The action is red hot now, so I wanted to get in on it as quick as possible. I plan to have some pics to post when we get back, so look for the posts. Will try to post on the Texas & Louisiana Board. (Aint't that having cofidence in our guide Mark). Mark if you are reading this the pressure is on you, so put us on some Crap....eeees. LOL R & R

Ben,
We will be staying at Marks lodge and fishing out of his boat. I dont have a clue where he will launch. I have never been to Taledo Bend. Looking forward to fishing new water. Good luck to you if you go.

Well Jigster and I may have gone a bit crazy with this, but we are now booked for the 16th,17th, and 18th. We are just making a full blown Crappie Vacation out of this one. We can't wait to get to the lake and fish with Mark. We will be sure and post a good article with pictures about this three day trip. T-bend is a great lake and getting to spend 3 days with someone who really knows the lake is the Best Christmas present that I can think of.
