Darren Burns, of Moss Bluff, shows off the 10.27-pound lunker bass he landed on March 20 near Mill’s Creek — the first of four lunkers landed on what proved to be an epic day at Toledo Bend.

Water Level Details
SLOW. Water stained; 78 degrees; 0.13 feet above pool. Shallow bass bite is good with frogs, topwaters and swimbaits around the flooded bushes and hay grass. Bass are showing up in 12-18 feet on Texas and Carolina rigged big worms, with a few coming on crankbaits. This has been slow fishing at best. Crappie are fair in 10-16 feet of water on standing timber or brush. High winds kept angels off the main lake ridges. Most of all the crappie are out of creeks and off the grass. Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing. As we enjoy a weekend of fishing we salute and honor our Nation’s heroes this Memorial Day. Anticipate increased recreational boater traffic this weekend.
