Looking for Toledo Bend bream in all the right places

Toledo Bend is vast, so there are myriad areas in which to look for bream beds.

But Lyle Soileau said there are some ways to narrow down the search.

“It’s got to be where the wind can’t disturb them,” he said.

Even in those wind-protected pockets there are sweet spots.

“You want to find flat, sandy banks,” he said.

This provides the bottom bream prefer, and then it’s just a matter of picking off fish.
