The Spoonpluggers Forum

Was watching professional angler Ott Defoe talking about Toledo Bend res. on you tube ,he said that he classifies the lake as being a lowland res.
To me its a flatland lake
What are the opinion of others?

Like you John I will turn 70 next June, the years have gone quickly. As for fishing this 2023 was not as good as 2022. For some reason that is beyond my knowledge, Buckhorn has been going down steadily for the last 10 years. I have not been on the water since coming back from Florida and do not plan...

Bink, I have to agree with you. I would surely give up my active target before my Navionics maps , gps, waypoints, spot lock.

If you ain’t scoping you’re just hoping Believe I heard ANDY MORGAN say that. But as fishermen we are always hoping. If I'm using active target, I'm hoping I can find them and then hope, I can get them to take my offering. If I'm casting some of my known hotspots, I'm hoping I can get them to strike...

Thanks, very nice

Scott I would love to see your boat if u don't mind posting some pics.

To reply to what you are talking about John. As stated b4 sometimes when I can, I put an extra rod in my rod holder while still having one in my hand. This happened this past Tuesday, I ran a different lure on the rod holder rod. Both big fish hit that rod, so without that I may have gone home empty...

I'm gonna try and do watree sometime this summer maybe July. Sounds like I will have to devote a day or two to monticello.

Look at this video of bill dance at about the 3.30 min. What do you think just happened . I think that guy over at the right side of the screen just hooked that fish for bill and droped it in the lake ,then bill sets the hook. Do ya'll agree?
