The Bend

So Toledo Bend is quite a place.  Big, windy and full of wood and supposedly full of big bass but I have not found them.  The week before the official practice the water was up into the mid 60s and since we have had lows in the low 30s dropping the water temps into the mid fifties.  We had heard that a wave of fish had moved shallow but apparently moved off with the cool weather.   I have found some suspended fish scattered in transitional areas but scattered and inconsistent is an understatement.  The main lake deep fish will not be affected as much by this cold spell and wind but 25+ mph winds makes it hard to fish for them.  

Day one was cancelled due to high wind advisory and I give us a 50 50 chance of fishing tomorrow.  I have made myself stick to my plan of staying in a fixed area and figuring it out and I feel pretty good about staying with that but the fish have not exactly been cooperating with the gameplan by scattering out.  We will see what happens.
