Anyone been out??

Went Thurs PM - - tough outing. Airplane looked great on the graph but slabs, swim baits, and trolling all ineffective. Didn't try bait. Right at dusk I saw a few pockets of schooling fish, but the schools were small and gone in an instant. I'm gonna try again in the morning.

I think the lake has fished tougher this year than any recent year (at least for me). I know the lake fairly well, and have tried most all my spots, but it seems 5 or 6 fish from a spot is about the max I can get with artificials. I've talked with a few guys that fish out there regularly, for various species, and they've all agreed. I know the hybrids were active earlier in the year, but the last month has been pretty brutal overall - - still an occasional good report, but no consistency at all. Not quite sure why.

Can you tell I'm getting frustrated

We couldn't agree more. Thursday AM, about 5 hours. One keeper sandie. Lots of dinks and very small yellows. We can find fish, but no takers on anything in the tackle box. Did'nt try shad! Very disappointing.

Grrrr Benbrook--I caught all the hybrids I wanted at LL Wed evening but I hate the drive. Wish BB would heat up again!

I hear ya! Went out this morning, but all I could get was a gob of tiny yellers.

On a good note, the LMB bite is still OK. Got a couple of nice ones worm fishing, plus some dinks. I think for the next few trips I may revert to LMB fishing - - see what catching yellers will do to ya

Went Monday evening the 30th with my two boys. We managed 102 white bass and two broke rods in 2 1/2 hours.

slidin... youve done better than us regulars. I fish that lake quite often and slow for me right now. good job. you takes any photos?

We only kept the first 13. Took pictures of those when we got home. Up till midnight cleaning fish. By the way, I fish Benbrook alot. That's the best day we have had in 2 years. I let a friend in on the info and they caught almost 200 Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. All schooling fish. Monday, we had them all to ourselves. Small schools but there were 5 up at a time.

WHat do you fish out of? I'm in a Blue Wave--say hi next time your out.

Ensignjason,

I'm in a 21ft poontoon with a trolling motor on the front. Usually my two boys are with me. I've created a fishing monster in my 9 yr old. Thursday evening the other boat that has caught 200 in two nights, landed a 23 inch 9 lb Hybrid in one of the schools. 50 feet off the bank in front of the airplane field.

I'll hollar at ya next time I'm out! Gotta run to Kansas(family thing) this weekend but I should be at BB fairly regular after that.

Have a safe trip. Now that baseball is over, it's fishing time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
