My son Chris and I went out briefly yesterday and found fish at Long Ridge, Merimac Point and Iron Wall Hump. This morning from 8:15AM til 12:15PM neighbor Guy T went out with me and we caught 100: 89 whites, 8 keeper yellow bass, a 20 inch hybrid, a short hybrid and a cat. Found fish at SE edge of Spillway Hump, Enchanted Isle Ridge and Game Warden Hump. All but one caught on a #4 silver Mepps. At Game Warden fish were in 13 to 15 fow, and they were in 17 to 21 fow in the other spots.

Nice post and fish. Good job.

Nice job Dennis!

Great post Dennis !

Good to see you and Guy out there on Saturday Dennis. We had a short window before taking the family to the airport to fish so my daughter and I trolled around for a while and she landed two nice hybrids, 20" and 24". Both were released to fight another day. Look forward to seeing you again soon. Tom

She looked like she was really into it and having a great time.

Scouting report for 7/18-19/2018: I checked out 9 places and found fish at 4: The middle part of Long Ridge in 20 to 22 fow - it was loaded with white bass, the east end of Long Ridge in 25 fow, Mid-lake Hump in 23 fow, and Merimac Point in 15 fow. Spots that were not holding fish were Greenhouse Ridge, Campbell's Hump, Dam Drop-off, Dam Ridge and 3-Jug Hump. At Merimac fish were taking #2 Mepps much better than #4. At the other spots #4 was better. Caught 40 fish this morning from 7:30 to 11:00. Thirty two were whites, 5 short hybrids, 1 cat and 2 nice yellow bass.

On my VIP Deckliner finally got my trolling motor fixed - working great now. Also had to replace big motor starter, and it's working much better. The Polar-Kraft bass boat has been out of the water since the Tawakoni tournament with one cylinder not firing. Been trying various things - the less expensive. Now down to putting in new power pack.

Thanks for the report Dennis. I found a few at Game Warden on Sunday. Not much anywhere else. Caught them on #4's. Glad you got the boat fixed.

Great report Dennis , see you on the water !

Glad you got your trolling motor back in service Dennis!

The dude knows his sandies.

Wow, thx. I found this map you did. https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/790x644q90/r/922/Epa8yX.jpg. I'm going this weekend and never fished the lake so this will really help.

7/24/2018: Made a scouting run up north. Checked out 4 good structures and found fish on all 4. Midlake Hump held fish right on top of it - 23 fow. Iron Wall Hump had fish on it in 19 to 21 fow. Spillway Hump had fish on SE and SW corners. On SE corner they were 16-17 fow and on SW corner they were in 21 fow. Last stop was Enchanted Isle Ridge (Just off map to the north). Fish were on the west end of it on the slope that faces SW in 18 to 22 fow and on the north edge of the west end in 18 to 22 fow. I caught 10 to 15 in each spot before moving on - 47 whites,2 cats and a 12 inch yellow bass. Sandies ranged from 11 to 15 inches. Caught most on #4 Mepps, some on #2.

Great post Dennis, can't wait to get back on the water. I'm still waiting on parts from Ranger, see you on the water. Thx
