We are catching large numbers of Sandies on Lavon. Our best day so far was almost 500. We are catching lots of Magnum size fish. The bite is early morning as well as afternoon. I am running trips both times on weekdays and weekends. 60.00 per person all tackle and lures will be furnished. Minimum of 4 people max of 6 people. call to book.

379 nice Sand Bass today, the girls killed the guys on size and numbers. Lavon is on fire for sandies. We kept only the 16 an 17 in and above, that was 40. We thru everything else back to grow up and fight again. We had many many 3 at a time caught, but the best was 7 at once on a sabiki rig, and 6 on a homemade sabiki but Ayman. Ayman's wife really out fished him ( don't tell him I told you ). We all had a blast, fish were behind the island in 15 to 23 ftw. We were catching them on chartruse 1/2 oz slabs, white 1/2 oz slabs and mirror 1/2 oz slabs, with a grub tied a ft up, sometimes a couple or even 3 or 4 grubs, white, yellow, blue, chartruse and orange colors all worked well. If you want in on this action please give me a call 214 243 9151, I fish everday, I have morning and afternoon trips open, 60.00 per person.

471 total sand bass for the weekend, 258 on sunday alone. Lots of Magnum size as well as legal eating size. I furnish all tackle and bait. I fish weekdays as well as weekends, morning and afternoon trips are open. 60.00 per person, minimum 4 max of 6 people. You bring your drinks and snacks and a cooler for your fish. We are using slabs with a jig or 2 tied above, many times you get 2 or 3 at once. Its a blast, if you want some sand bass now is a great time to load up on them!!

This Sunday was a slow day, we went everywhere. I marked very large schools on many humps and points. I think they were on vacation. The ones we did catch were in 14 to 24 ftw. Slabs were king. Seems like just when you figure them out, they say nope!!! call to chase some sand bass

The weekend was slow on Saturday, but turned back on Sunday, then Tuesday was even better.. Little Ridge point was where we caught the biggest fish. Slabs of any color, with a jig a foot above it would produce 2 at a time. We also were catching some nice eater size blues on the bottom slabs. Seemed like someone would get one then for the next 20 minutes everyone would get one, then all the other boats around would catch them. I have been using a blue jig I bought a dozen of somewhere last year, its been producing some really large Sand Bass, biggest ones I ever caught. If you want to chase some Sand Bass give me a call. Thanks Dusty

We started the morning at the glass house, within 5 minutes we started boating nice sand bass. White and chartruse slabs as well as mirror slabs with a jig tied a foot above was the ticket. It only lasted about an hour an the school moved off. We just dropped to the bottom and bounced it. We moved around and finally found some nice magnum size fish by the Little Ridge point on the intake side. We ended up with 108. Lots of magnum size fish as well as 3 catfish and a couple nice crappie. call to book your trip.

Lots of nice mags today. Caught many while slabbing, white seemed the color of choice. Things got slow and swithched to trolling, real nice doubles were coming in. Deep diver baits in orange or metal flake pink were hot.

Yep.. We caught em pretty good casting Cordell silver spoons and bounce them back slowly. Vertical slabbing right on bottom.. Literally light twitching few inches off bottom any more than a few inches they would not bite.!? Dusty is correct.. Fat mags

Little Ridge was hot this morning. Any where from 25 - 32'. Started with live bait and got tired of removing deep hooks. They were inhaling them on way down. Unless you set the hook and first little slack in pin they had it in throat. Got bored with bait and switched to slabs. Any color or size. I put on a 1-3/4 oz chartreuse to avoid little ones and it worked somewhat. Still got a bunch of little yellows. Put 43 in well.

I'm using white long not round slabs, about 1/2 ounce, with a jig tied about a foot up from it. I cut one of the hooks off the treble, leaving the double hook. Not sure of the size of the hook.
