Well its been a while since I've posted. This spring was tougher than normal but, I think we are over that now! Hybrids are starting to show up. I've been throwing the kahuna spoon and a Moe's 4" swim bait into the schools of sandbass after I locate them with a fiesta slab.

Also there have been reports of early topwater action on the shallow points. The fish in that pic was caught in 2 feet of water on a point.

Good to see you posting again Steve.

I had a trip saturday and found sandbass everywhere. It seemed, there were fish on almost every hump 10-14 feet. I was starting with a moe's shanghi swim bait in the sand bass schools and catching a few hybrids. Usually, the big hybrids will bite soon after you make your first cast on a spot (if there are any there).

The water is clearing but, still somewhat stained... 76 degrees and almost no boat traffic!

Glad to see your still around, in your opinion which is better, mornings or afternoons

Steve we went Sunday evening and the fish were loaded up on a hump lots of sandies and small hybrids and we did get about 5 keeper hybrids.Sunday on cooper and their was only 2 boats and 2 jet skis besides us on the lake .

Good Job Steve! Regareds, Bart

sorry for the slow response, Cooper is generally a mid-day/afternoon lake and always has been although, that doesnt mean morning time is bad. They usually bite early then slow down about 7:30am or so and pick up after 10:00am till dark
