Cajunangler is right about all the pressure on Toledo and Rayburn. I just got back from Toledo this afternoon and for the 3rd or 4th week in a row, there was another tournament that had 1200 boats in it. There were other tournaments going on also (Anglers Quest-300 boats). But the other weekends had the same huge tournaments that had over 1000 boats in it. Rayburn also had their McDonalds Big Bass Tournament and I am probably sure that it had a few thousand entries in it. This not to mention all the recreational anglers also. It is overcrowded, but there is plenty of water to fish on Toledo and Rayburn.

What is the water temp yall are seeing around the Long Creek area? Thanks

When yall are talking about muddy water, what type of visibility are you referring to? I am pretty sure it is not as muddy as what I am accustomed to down here. Also, in the colored water, is there ever any kind of lipless crankbait bite (Traps)? Thanks.

What color trailer are yall throwing on the Missouri Craw? It is hard for me to tell what would match up better on it.

Thank you Don, I appreciate the help. That is about the same thing we use down here at Toledo Bend and Rayburn, we use just a larger jig. We stay at Happy Hollow and this is my 5th year in a row and my dads and his friends 25th or so year. I hope to be able to fish the flooded stuff but I am not sure if the water will still be up and cleared up when we come. Where do you recommend throwing the jig, transition banks, chunk rock, pea gravel or what?

Which Eakins Jig are yall using or have the best luck with up there. I looked at the website and could not figure out which ones to get. I will be up there at Table Rock Apr. 26-May 1. Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for helping out cajunangler. 6 of us are heading up there in the morning from SW LA for our annual trip. We usually stay around the Long Creek area, but I think as soon as we get up there we are gonna go put in up on the Kings around Viola I guess. We have never been up there but if any of yall can help us out on what to expect I would appreciate it. Thanks.

How were you rigging your finesse worms? Thanks in advance.
