Brought a guest to Toby for a half-day outing – hoping to have similar results that I had a month or so ago.  Water temp 85, nice breeze (thankfully!) putting a helpful chop on the water.  Tried topwater early, caught 2-3 smaller fish on a white whopper flopper.  By 8am the topwater was done & we tied on cranks and scooted out into deeper water.  I returned to some of the structure I found on my last visit about half-way up the main part of the lake along the creek channel.  Nothing.  By 9am we were drifting the creek channel back into deeper water towards the dam, and BAM – started tying into them once we found the 9-11 ft water edged by some timber not far from the ramp.  Ended up with 30 fish – 21 over the slot, 2-3 culls, and 6 average sized crappies – and lost one broad-shouldered pig at the boat that was at least 24” long.  We worked hard to find them, but hit a nice 2-3 hour late morning stretch that made it all worth it.  Defintely coming back, maybe when the weather cools down some.
