Went today and the employee at the gate told me that you only had to pay for camping and let me through to the boat ramp for free. Went around twin coves and then over to the island. Found them boiling on the top and game on. All of the sandies were small but still had fun with my dad. Overall a great day!

solid, been having a bit of trouble finding them on Gvine, hit'em hard last week, been slow since then

All boat ramps are free in Murrell park. Only camping has a charge. 75% of the time there is a person at the gate simply to ask what you are doing. Does not seem to be a great investment of resources but maybe I am missing something.

The Sandbass are schooling throughout the lake on points. Early morning and late evening are the best times. My son and I caught 28 Sandbass this morning in an hour and half from a kayak without a depth finder. I went back this evening without him and caught 18 Sandbass, 2 Largemouth Bass and one big Smallmouth Bass. Most of the fish hit a 1/8 chartruse and white Maribou jig. Late in the evening I was trying a 1/4 oz Bucktail jig when the Smallmouth Bass hit. We were using 6 pound Trilene XL line. I really believe the light line doubles the number of strikes. We did lose a couple of jigs to the trees but didn't have any fish break off.

Is the aerator/bubbler turned on yet by the dam?

Thanks for the heads up on the Murrell park boat ramp. I just moved into Flower Mound and I plan on launching there

yes, went there the other day, they were chasing shad but i couldn't talk any of them into biting...

Awesome to hear the great reports. I have very limited experience at the vine but am hoping to get out a few times in the next month or so while I have my dads bay boat up here. Looking for somewhere to take the kids fishing to snag some whites. Any info is greatly appreciated! Tight lines!
