Buying a little place in Key Ranch, and looking forward to fishing CC again. I'm looking forward to figuring the lake out. I'm already figuring out a few things by searching TFF. I won't be closing 'til middle of Sept, and will try to fish it as much as bow hunting, and my wife allow in Sept/Oct. Any general tips ya'll can throw at me for sandys and hybrids out there will be appreciated...
More Rain!?!

I really like my Sportsman Masters 247 center console for fishing the lakes. Very stable, lots of room and fishes like a champ. If ya ever want a ride let me know.

Fastguy, already have a bass boat, but at 17', a bit small to run down the lake on a windy day tho. When I get tired of my spine getting compressed, and taking a bath out there on windy days, we can start looking for that center console! Hoping we get some water in the lake by the time I get out there in Sept!

Rob4: I can usually find fish on structure in protected water and don't find my 17 ft bass boat very limiting re white bass. May be more of an issue if one targets hybrids.

I'm new to fishing on CC, but I've had a place out there for almost 2 years. I've been hit or miss fishing for sandies. I've been learning a lot from the posts here. Thanks to all of you guys for posting such detailed descriptions of how and where you're fishing. Dennis has been particularly generous by providing videos and maps. If I have any luck this weekend I'll post a brief review on Monday.

On some days you will wish you had a larger boat, this lake can get rough in a hurry.
Hybrid fishing will usually take you to deeper unprotected water, these fish move around a great deal.
There are a lot of great center console boats on the market that will get you out and back safely.
Hope to see you on the water.

Fast Guy is right on both counts, the regulars on the lake are great folks, I received help from both Dennis and George, Karry and Snaggin Steve when I bought my place a while back. I started on the lake in a 17' Skeeter and recently moved up to a 21' Cat. The lake can test you at times, so pay attention to the skies and severe drops in temperature and be safe out there. Welcome to the lake!

Rob4, We are too! Our place is on that northern most arm off the main lake where the 198 bridge crosses over water. We close in late September as well. We are super excited - the kids maybe more so than me and the wife!
I have a 21' FishMaster center console.
