We are bass fishing in our kayaks on one of the greatest lakes in the the country right now, Toledo Bend Reservoir. Fishing with topwater frogs, both buzz frogs and hollow body frogs was the best way to target the big bass living in the thick grass. We caught lots of fish on topwater baits and flipping around the bank, but the best fish were caught deep in the lily pad stems fishing frogs. Fishing in the kayak made it easy to go way back in the lily pads and grass lines to where the big bass were feeding on bluegill and frogs close to the bank. Toledo Bend Reservoir sits on the border of Texas and Louisiana in the Sabine National Forest and is ranked as one of the top lakes to go bass fishing in the country by Bassmaster Magazine. The frog fishing should be on fire during the fall when the bass start to move back in shallow water following the shad.
