This is off topic but where are the best areas on fork for sandies? I want to go down there tomorrow and have heard there are some good ones in the lake. I would rather go to fork because I know how to run the lake, never been on any of the well known sandies lake so I don't feel comfortable on them. Thank you in advance.

I would think they would be up the rivers spawning still with these temps.

Creeks

Take all you can.

you would think they would be packed in somewhere north of fork with as many as are in the lake

Hope you know the new Sandbass law that went into effect Jan.1 on Fork
If You catch one, you have to catch 5,000 and can not release any.

If you can find a lure that imitates a Lone Star Sharelunker Fingerling that was recently stocked, you can catch all you want.

I wouldn't tell anyone to break the law

The laws for sandbass on Fork are the same as any other Texas lake.
If you see someone killing a fish for no reason, you might want to get their boat number..and give it to the TPW warden.

I will gladly take my limit and no more. I just want to get on some good fishing. The lakes up here are dead right now. Gonna take my daughter her friend and my wife. Just want to put them on some fish.

So no one is led a stray by misinformed persons:
