Toledo Bend Weekly Fishing Report

Oct 20, 2021

FAIR. 66-70 degrees; 4.15 feet low. The water level is 167.8 feet with no generators running and no rain this week. The water is clear in the main lake and feeder creeks. Water temperature in the main lake is running 66-70 degrees and further back up in the creeks is 64 degrees. Largemouth bass are good, using shallow running crankbaits in crawfish pattern and shad colors, white spinner baits, Texas rig worms and drop shotting the points leading to creeks. The crappie bite is still in deep water (20 – 25 feet) on vertical structure using small minnows and jigs. The catfish bite has been good on cut bait and punch bait. The full Moon is this week, so get out and do some night fishing with the cooler temperatures and less irritating bugs. Remember to watch your Moon phase chart or app for your best bite and times for this week. Good luck and tight lines! Safety Reminder: Everyone needs to wear their life jackets (PFDs). Inspect your lanyard (for wear and tear) on your engine kill switch before leaving the boat ramp to make sure they are in good operating conditions.
