Looking good so far. Hopefully my guys don't bomb the next few days.

BassTrakk shows Jacob Wheeler has a limit in the livewell already. And its only 7:15am.

I do have Wheeler, but the rest of my lineup ain't looking too good.  I picked Carriere as he lives in LA and you would think he could catch a limit at least.  I guess not.  I have to quit taking flyers on guys like that or picking guys with good history on a particular lake, that strategy is killing me.

Toledo Bend is such a strange lake though.  All of the people that did really well here last year *cough cough* Chris Lane, are no where to be found here this year.  Last year Faircloth had a bad time, and this year he is right there.  You just never know.  It really is a crap shoot sometimes.

I was reading some blog, can't remember where I saw it, but the author was claiming that TB is not fishing as well now because they sprayed and killed a lot of vegetation on one end of the lake and there's been a lot of big fish kept and filleted.  Of course I can't say myself if that is true, but the weights are sure down compared to the last time there was an Elite event on TB. 

Or it could be that the fish are in some sort of post spawn/spawn funk, moving around and are difficult to pattern.

Toledo is my home lake and I will say that the grass is spotty. I think they sprayed some the shoreline hay grass, but it has more to do with water clarity and water levels for the growth of the hydrilla. I think this guy is full of crap when he was talking about all the filleted fish. The Lake always has lots of pressure and some folks keep fish, but not to the extent that the article says. I have had an excellent year so far with numbers and size. Maybe this guy had a bad trip. This past week was tough with the rising water, water changing color, water temp dropping, and high pressure. Not to mention the transition the fish are making. 

 

P.S.  We will be at Table Rock in 13 days!

Well, as usual, my guys stunk.  My one ray of hope was Wheeler, and he faded.  Next up Ross Barnett, a lake I know zero about, maybe that is a good thing.

Well I was really doing well after the first day, but things tailed off a bit. I still made up some ground though.

I've never heard of Ross Barnett before.  Looked it up and it seems to be a rather smallish lake that is fairly shallow throughout.  Not sure what kind of bite that lake has at all.  I'll be shooting from the hip on that one,

Looking at my tourney weights for Toledo, I was only 6 ounces off.  Wish I could guess that well on my picks.
