28.74 lbs Wins Texas Team Trail Tournament

Harold Allen (left) and Matt Loetscher (right) brought in 28.74 pounds to win the Texas Team Trail Tournament on January 13th on Toledo Bend. The winning duo won a brand-new Triton 189TRX with a 150-horsepower Mercury outboard, valued at $31,495.

"We fished spots that had some wood, not only on the bottom, but also hanging off the drop," Allen said. "Right now, the fish are either going to be right on top of the drop, or where it eases off. If you can find some cover off the side of the ledge, that's even better. Some of our fish were right on top of the ledge and some of them halfway down the sides of the drops."

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 15)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 75 degrees; 0.78 feet above pool. Fishing patterns are holding steady as the water level continues to rise due to the rain with more in the forecast. The wind has been high, so it has been hard to stay out there on these fish. Bass are good with lots of action on top water baits for the first hour of daylight. Once the sun rises over the trees, time to back out either in front of the flooded bushes or 8-10 feet of water with wacky-worms, light Texas rigs and shallow running crankbaits. There are a few fish on deep main lake points and ridges in 12-18 feet with Texas or Carolina rigs, and big crankbaits. Crappie bite if off due to the high water and current. A few fish can be caught on brush, but the best bite has been on docks in 8-12 feet of water with jigs and live bait. Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing.
