I find my Sand Bass schools just like the Striper Schools in the other post. I like to set up 20-30 feet away and cast to them. When you're sitting still, the school looks like a long cloud on side scan. You will actually see if Hybrid move through as well. Some people have a hard time throwing the # 2's and even the 4's. Here is my little secret deadly weapon. Its the Booyah Boo Rig Alpine. Its only a 1/4 oz. and smaller than your hand. They cast a mile and sink fast. Helps that Mepps track low. And you're still a single hook which is what I prefer. The Hybrid and Striper will jump on it too, but its a killer paired with a Mepps on Sand Bass. And you can buy 10 of these for only $5 at overstockbait.com. This is also good for avoiding the dreaded "You're in my trolling lane" encounters. You can sit out of the way and catch 5 or 6 before they get turned around...lol. It's Friday...y'all catch em up and have a good weekend!

Thanks for the good info, cenTexan!

CenTexan thanks for the info! Ordered me some!!!!

I’m a Mepps disciple but do not enjoy using the #2 in high winds. I have found an Acme Kastmaster can work with a similar presentation yet has a little more weight with a similar profile. Found 30 today using this technique by what I believe is called the rock pile.

I bought a couple of Mepps #2 Spinners at Academy today and will give the technique a try and report back. I also have some Acme Kastmaster spoons I’ll try as well.

I’m getting my new fish finder dialed in too. I hope to get white bass fishing down soon.

Ron, they are still biting #4's and on deeper strictures, but it could change any day.

Half ounce cotton Cordell silver slab slow rolled off bottom works well. Its the small profile moved horizontally that entices a strike. Good intel DC.

Caught them today on a #4 Mepps in 14 to 16 Ft. 3 nice hybrids and several good sand bass. What size Kastmaster are you guys buying ?

I attempted to use the Mepps technique tonight with the #2 plain silver spinner and split shot but the wind made it tough. No luck. I'll keep trying.

Headed to cedar creek in a couple of weeks. Are there any bait shops in gun barrel city?

Ordered one of the Booyah Boo Alpine Rigs to try. Seems like it could be deadly on white bass with a Mepps spinner or spoon!

I have some smaller aRigs.....gonna try loading the center with a mepps tomorrow. Thanks to all of you great minds on this thread!

russellwayne: No, but there is one called the Tackle Shop going north out of Malakoff on Hwy 198. They carry Mepps.

Anyone tried using a one ounce egg sinker, barrel swivel, two foot tag line attached to pet spoon ? Can be used exactly like the Mepps technique and it works. May need to experiment with weight size for personal preference .
