Wondering if someone can help me out,I have been slabbing several humps with no sucess and it is very frustrating.How are you guys doing out their and can you share a few tips ?

I haven't been in a few weeks, but they were on the humps and main lake points also then. White slabs were the ticket then bounced off the bottom( if they made it that far).

Thanks im also from Paris .

Do you slowly let it fall or just drop it ? Also ,what slabs do you use ?

I have been catching hybirds and sandies on a white and chartruse slab on cooper lake. I have been burning it off the bottem about two feet and let it fall back. Most strikes are coming on the fall.

Thanks Tony I will try that also.

Do you also fish Pat Mayes ?

Like Tony said...burn it off the bottom and let it fall! The main thing is making the right cast. Work on your depthfinder/gps skills to find the fish instead of blind casting on main lake humps. First you have to know what you are looking for on a depthfinder.
This is not the best pic ever but it is all I had. The fish on the depthfinder are big hybrids. Notice the big archs a little off of the bottom. Hybrids will often show up as 3-4 large archs piled on top of each other. In other words, they don't always look like a huge school. Sandbass are a little different. The schools are usually larger and start at the bottom. Often they look connected to the bottom like brush. Some schools extend all the way to the surface with smaller archs that are closer together. Of coarse, there are always exceptions to these rules but, this will get you started.

Thank you Steve You are always willing to help.With your post i found out one major thing i was doing wrong,I was verticle jigging the slab and not casting.I was on a flat sunday morning that had tons of fish but they would not hit the slab for me but with all you guys tips and help Im sure I will catch on.

Yes I do fish Pat Mayes. Mostly for bass and crappie. I believe I am headed out to Cooper this afternoon. Black skeeter.

Very nice guy... Steve and I go way back, he knows that lake to

I've fished near Steve and he has always been helpful to us.
