TOLEDO BEND
My entire family rented a lake house on the Texas side of Toledo Bend from 6/23/23-6/28/23 for my mothers birthday. I have decided to bring my boat. We are staying in Shelbyville area. I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to point my 10yr old son and myself in the right direction. I have livescope but have not figured it out at all but looking forward to trying! I am also bringing my cranking gear to fall back on because I am alot better at that lol. Anyways any help would be much appreciated! (Even if the help is use this launch, or eat supper here, or dont drive fast there because of underwater rip rap, etc). Thankyou!

Man, sorry I missed this......atleast could have pointed you to a good ramp and some structure. Best advice for TB is when you're in the northern section, DON'T run at all. It's gnarly but definitely holds some fish.Originally Posted by LowePro
How'd you end up?

Thankyou!
We never caught a crappie. Very few bass but did get into some! My boy ended up smashing the bream on a sow bug fly on his flyrod and had a blast! For the crappie we tried live scope, I am not 100% sure I ever saw a crappie on it? (im not dialed in on it yet) and we also trolled crankbaits with zero luck. Water looked great though!

I did convince myself and my wife that there were no crappie in the area we were fishing maybe this time of year? We were standing out on the dock watching the sunset. Minutes later one floated up to the surface i guess about to die he just had a few kicks left in him but my son did dip him up in a net lol. So there went that theory. hahahahahaha

Hmmmm...... where did you put in at and what area did you fish? I would have spent most of my time on the creek/river channels fishing structure. I love pulling cranks but that would be a tall task with all of that submerged structure.
