This is my first post, so hello to everybody!
Is there still some sand bass action going on in Blum?

Yes if you're a good fisherman and willing to get up extra early. Need to know which holes are best. Beware the dude trying to sell limits of sand bass for gas money. Jkb

Can I get a PM on it? I've been going out there since I was a kid. I live a little farther away now. I won't be a newb out there, or taking friends. Thanks JKB. You posted while I was writing this.

Small twitch baits rubber and hard baits fluke fire cracker lilfishie baits all work sometimes with just a hook and no weight fished impossibly slow. The usual holes at puckett springs. Jkb

Thank you for the info, and thanks to all for the welcome.
Yes sir. A single, smaller twitchbait fished slow has been about the only lure I've ever needed for close to 30 years now. I stopped going there because of the crowds when it got where I could only go on the weekends, and the longer drive too. Ideally, I fish the lure upstream letting it come back down with the current, and it got hard to even get enough room out there to do that comfortably. I only have one of that lure left and they don't make them anymore. There's nothing comparably similar either, unfortunately. I like weightless swimbaits/plastics. They've been pretty good to me since trying to save my last lure.

I won't argue. The only thing my old man would use aside from said twitchbait, which is saltwater lure, was a bucktail clouser or similar cheated with a spinning rod. I never learned how to tie them.
