Toledo Bend

[fritz20]

I agree with Toledo Bend. Normally when I do mult-day trips I go salt, but I really want to go to Toledo Bend for 3 or 4 days.

this would probably be a (leave at noon fri. and come home sun.) kinda trip

I like Concordia , good bream and great catfishing for the kids and quality bass fishing also . Sportsman Lodge is a good place to stay with a large dock and it don`t get slammed by pleasure boaters

I would have to go with Toledo also. Not many pleasure boaters to deal with there...........too many stumps.

i would stay on Concordia and fish st john and concordia

how for is concordia ?

Stay at Neely's Spokane on St. John. They have cabins on the water for $130 a night that will sleep the whole family and the fishing(bass) has been better than Concordia. I just got back from Sportsman lodge and eventhough the grounds are clean and nice the cabins are old and a little run down. The people were super friendly but I think for a family trip St. John would be better!

I say Venice and you can mix it up with all species the bass fishing is good the trout and redfish is outstanding.

I have stayed at the Bed & Breakfast twice and the bunk house with the entire family (6 adults and 2 kids) for 4 nights. One bathroom for the bunk house is the only thing, but it is managable.
The B&B is nice. Wife and I go. I go fishing before daylight and return at 9 or 9:30 for an awesome breakfast, then take her out for bream fishing or just boat riding.

Buddy, I think you need to go to Blind River. I know you don't need any more fish in your freezer with bow season right around the corner. Give me a call, I have 2 freezers in need of some fish. LOL
