Haven't had a chance to get to EM the year yet, but planning tomorrow afternoon. Can anyone help with the sandies there right now??? The humps, the damn, the plant??? Any help would be MUCH appreciated! Taking a couple newbies who have never caught them before. Thanks in advance!!!!

Fished around the island, they were all over the screen but weren't biting. Went to a hellpet rig by the dam and caught a few.

Last night about 8:15pm I was about 100 yards offshore in about 20-25ft water. I saw a school of sand bass near my boat running and flipping at the surface. I had a shad squarebill crankbait in my hand so I threw it through the school and caught 4 in about 10 minutes before the school moved and I couldn't figure out where. I caught 2 on the SAME cast!

Thanks for the help guys! I'll post any info After we finish tonight.

@scott123.... Same experience. Found them all over the north side of the island, but not a single bite. Moved west to the shallows for bass and found a bunch of LITTLE ones. I'm talking 3 to 4 inchers!!!! We caught over 30 plus several bass and a few nice catfish. So, it was good evening for the kids.
