2017-2018 Toledo Bend Lunkers




The Toledo Bend Lake Association's Lunker Bass Program as of 8/3/18, has 13 lunkers entered into the program for the May 2018 - May 2019 year!

Pictured is Richard Wilson of Leesville, LA with the biggest fish caught this month, his 10.38 lb. lunker that he caught on July 27, 2018 and weighed in at Buckeye Landing Marina.

Toledo Bend guide Jason Courville figured his trip on June 28 would be about the big one that got away. He was fishing with a client in the client's boat in the 6 Mile area, and both men were throwing Carolina-rigged green pumpkin Zoom Brush Hogs with a ¾-ounce weight in about 15 feet of water.

"You could tell it was a big fish the way it bit, so I swung and set the hook on it," he said. "As soon as I did, I turned to the client and said, 'This is a big one.'

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 1)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 75 degrees; 0.19 feet above pool. More rain in the forecast so water levels are high and rising. Main lake is clear, but some of the big creeks with the flow are muddy and will take some time to clear up. There is a shad spawn going on in the morning and some afternoons attracting the bass. Bass are good on spinnerbaits, chatterbaits and small swimbaits. Once the rises work Texas rigs and wacky worms along edge of the flooded brush. On an overcast day, bass can be caught on topwaters and frogs all day long. Lots of fish, just not many over 4 pounds. Crappie are fair on brush piles and deeper docks using 1/16 ounce jigs with a white or smoke color grub and live bait. Best area has been away from the big flow in the creeks, as crappie do not like the rushing water. Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing.
