Over the last few days, the sandies have been boiling the surface chasing shad within casting distanc of the shore at White Rock. But absolutely no size at all. Has anyone ever had any success catching nicer sand bass on White Rock?

sure they werent yellows? WR has a lot of little yellows

Pretty positive they were all small whites. Caught six this morning from the point at TP Hill throwing a little white/silver slab cranking it pretty fast through schools chasing shad to the surface. Just wondering if anyone has ever caught any with any size.

To be sure I looked up photos on the TX Parks and Wildlife site and yea, they were whites.

yes. caught lots of whites of excellent size at WRL.

where is the best spot to fish on the main lake? I never fished on the lake before. I always fished in the creek when crappie are biting.

they are definitely sandies . and yes they are running small right now and yes there will be a time when they will look like sandies from any major lake in texas and even larger at times . you just have to be at the right place at the right time

ps they started in the creek close to nw hwy a couple of weeks before the last few rainy days and they have moved to most parts of the lake

Me too. I have never fish in the main lake...just the creek. I have a feeling that there are ton of tree stump, trash bags, tree branches, tires, boats, bicycles, lots of old fishing lines, possibly human body, car, rocks etc in there.

I think fishing from a small Johnboat might be good there.

"possibly human body"

i live about 5 mins from this lake and every single time i go fishing there i get skunked!

I caught one on every cast from 12-1 today. I was not on the bank though. Caught them from my kayak, mid lake, between Winfrey Point and the mansions, 11 ft deep. When I was in the school my graph was completely blacked out. I would paddle past them, then drift back through, throwing a white roostertail. I caught exactly 0 keepers, and yes they were all sandies. White Rock is full of little sandbass, and when you can find them, sum bigguns too.

i was real close to you eric doing the same at the new parking lot where we had the carp gettogether doing the same thing

by the way somehow or another i had a keep[er crappie and some bar bass mixed in with them

i was using a yellow w/red dots inline panther martin spiiner with a silver blade in the 1/8 oz size attached above was a worm weight for further distance casting a baitcaster

did it again today, caught about 50 on a roostertail. As it started to slow at about 1:30, I tied on a slab to see if there were some bigger fish under all the dinks. caught a couple slightly larger dinks, then 3 magnums in a row, then it was all over. gonna try again tommorow, this time i will start with the slab.

any of you fellas fishing in the lake this weekend? i will be out there for the first time on a canoe trying to fish

most likely. look for me somewhere near winfrey point. i will be in a green kayak, hopefully jigging up some crappies or slabbin some sandies.

me too look for jon boat with an oversized mexican it lol

i went out yesterday on a canoe with a buddy and we landed some nice bass.....

any sand bass or crappie?

I was always able to find them busting shad at the north end near the foot bridge where it gets real shallow.

i don't know where to find the crappie or sandies...we were just paddling under the mockingbird bridge and along the edges of that side of the lake.....hit a few large mouths and a few small yellow bass....

any tips on locating the crappie and sandies?

what was that you were saying ?? grats on the bass.. bryan went today in todayin the jon boat around 330 and only found 5 crappie dinks , was fishing about 2 hundred yards out from the old poer plant till the rain came in

lets all meet up sometime on the lake and do some fishing....
