Joe Joslin has fished Toledo Bend Reservoir for over 30 years and has been a full-time licensed
guide since 1998. He specializes in Largemouth bass. He guides mainly the southern 1/3 of
Toledo which many feel harbors more than its share of Toledo Bend's lunker bass. His largest
bass ever was an 11 pound 8 ounce beauty which was caught in 2003. Joe roams an area of
over 60,000 acres of Toledo's 185,000 acres of water with over 1300 miles of shoreline. In
addition to guiding, Joe is a frequent tournament angler, outdoor writer for several
newspapers/outdoor magazines and numerous websites. Joslin also frequently leads fishing
seminars. Joe runs a 22ft Skeeter fully loaded with all the bells and whistles to make fishing a
pleasure all day long.
