Usually best in the cooler fall or the spring spawn. Someone will pipe in the names of some guides. I had 2 friends limit last week with a guide. Will try and find out who he was and post it. Seems to hot to go right now. Welcome aboard and hope to see some posts and pix by you. If you want go to your profile and click edit profile on the left side of the page. Then put the cursor in front of Louisiana and type in your town. "D"

Welcome to the forum. I only go when it's cooler as well, not in this heat. For a guide, a good one is Coon Gillespie. I have spoke to him several times. Operates in the mid lake area (SRA Cypress Bend park). He now has a website:

Coon's Guide Service on Toledo Bend Reservoir

I think I'll reserve a guide service the last weekend of Feb.......who wants in?????.....and welcome to LSU TRACKER..BTW...the last guide I got on TB was good....but no numbers on the boat and LWF almost hauled him in.....I was skeered.....so I can not make a recommendation in that respect.

Best month to go is June
Call Mr. Larry White
Look up Als fish camp website.
He also rents this camp.
He lives next door and also guides
Great guide.
You won't be disappointed.

Everyone I have heard used Coon's swears by him. The word is he is great with kids too.

Thought you were pulling my boat. What's up wit dat? Just kidding. I will think about the guide thing. May be easiest.

My buddy hired Coon this past Saturday....only kept 5 fish,and only fished 3 brush piles ....$300 for 5 fish....It wasn't the best day though with major high pressure system on us.....I would wait until October to book a guide trip....I will be there Columbus Day, Lord willing.....Noe Garcia used to be a good guide....also Living the Dream Guide Service....they're a lil pricey though....hth
