Lake Toho Bass fishing has been doing very good thru the middle of the month of December. Several trips out on Lake Toho have produced some good numbers, and some quality bass. We did a little live bait fishing, bass responded well to this, but the main action was with the artificial baits. Steel Shad and spinner baits worked well on schooling bass. Schooling bass size was ok, the real catch came with rigging up a fluke with a half ounce weight, tossing it past the schooling bass and very slowly crawling it below the school to catch the quality bass.
Scattered hydrilla beds in mid lake have still been producing good numbers. Key has been to find the small isolated patches. These patches have been holding bass as of late for us. Friars cove has also been holding some quality bass. Gitem Shads, 10 inch worms and wacky rigged Gitem K.Os have been the main baits used to target these bass.
We also had the great pleasure of filming a bass fishing show with Bob Redfern's Outdoor Magazine Television Series out on Lake Toho this month. We had a great time and got some good footage. All bass caught for the show were caught on Steel Shad and some on live bait. Show should be airing but the end of January 2010.
