Here it is! The February Bass Champs tournament on Toledo Bend Lake!

Now if you’ve been fishing Toledo or have been following my social media you guys and gals already know Toledo Bend has been fishing very tough. Between icy cold fronts, heavy fishing pressure and lack of good cover(grass) there aren’t as many productive areas as there usually is.

Bass Champs called for a trailering event because of incoming weather. We didn’t really know exactly where we wanted to fish until tournament morning. We picked an area that we don’t really fish often but knew it would be well protected from the heavy northeast winds. A major front was blowing in around lunch and the winds were going to gust close to 40mph.

We caught 3 big keepers before we had the camera rolling. We started recording about 7:20am after it was safelight, and we could remove our anchor light. (Gotta follow the tournament rules and state boating laws)

We used our livescope to find stumps in two to six feet of water. We would throw chatter baits, square bills and rat l traps around the isolated stumps to catch our bass.

The best bite was right at 7am and ended about 7:45. I did catch a 5 pounder about 1:30 in the heavy rain that gave us a huge upgrade! We placed 16th over all in the tournament.
