Thanks for the report. Sunken Island is one of the most consistent places on CC to find white bass. I am catching whites on both #2 and #1 right now due to small shad.

Checked out Dennis Christian’s map and don’t see a spot called sunken island, where is it?

I think this is it:

Yes, that's it.

Dennis have you fished any evenings lately? I haven't been down this year but thought I might since school is starting up.

Thank you

8/23/2021: Took neighbor Patrick and his two fellow, retired Dallas police officers Andy and Julian out fishing on Cedar Creek Lake. We started slow but finally got into a good school of white bass on the north finger of Spillway Hump. We used #2 Mepps to boat a total of 83 fish.
Here is Andy with nice white bass:


8/27/2021: Took house guests Franklin and Andy out twice. We fished from 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM in the morning and caught 106 including two 21 inch hybrids. Almost all were caught on Mepps #4's. We found fish at Long Ridge in 23 fow, Key Ranch Drop-off in 15 fow, and at Merimac Point in 21 fow. We made an afternoon run from 5 PM to 7:30 PM and caught 36 at East Dam Hump in 22 fow using #4 Mepps. Here are some pics of both outings:

Thank you DC for always sharing your trips with friends,family, and to all of us that enjoy fishing .

Well, same place, different day. Went out this morning to sunken island at daybreak and after seeing fish on the finder in 7 FOW, decided to start there. Wife and I both started throwing a #4 Mepps with little results. She caught a couple of small fish and I had a good sized carp pull off at the boat. After a little time and not doing so well, we moved out to about 13 FOW with still no luck. Around 8 ish, we moved back to 10 FOW and I changed to a #3 Mepps and started catching fish after 3 or 4 cast. I guess unlike Dennis C on the south end of the lake, where he caught most of his on a #4, these fish were feeding on the smaller shad still. Sat there in the 10 FOW till 9:30 and ended up catching approx. 45 and ended up keeping 26. Fish seemed to come in waves and would slow down some and then pick back up to catching one every cast. Most fish were in the 12 to 15 inch range with some smaller than that. Like stated above, only 3 fish on #4's and the rest on #3's. Fish seemed to want a slow retrieve today.

I went out briefly Saturday at Long Ridge West and Key Ranch and they wanted the smaller Mepps - for me that's a #2. No takers for a #4.

I don't normally fish on the weekend but I have a young neighbor (34 years old) who wanted to take his 2 brothers and his 12 year nephew out to catch sand bass. He wanted me to take my boat and be the captain while he was going to act as the first mate. His 2 brothers and nephew are not fisherman so trolling was pretty much my only option. Long ridge had been producing for me lately so I started there. The hell pet combo did not disappoint and everyone caught fish, started talking smack and had a smile on their face. Stayed there for about an hour and they were still biting when we left. I headed to the east side of spillway hump. There were fish but most were small. Kept a few and then headed to the sunken island. I came around the island on the east side looking between 14' and 21' of water. There was a boat on top of the island and a guide on the west side but he was in shallower than I wanted. As I came full circle I spotted a huge school of fish stacked between 16' and 18' on the south side. Caught doubles on 2 passes and then my neighbor asked if we could lock on top of the fish so he could show his brothers and nephew how to vertical jig a slab. That freed me up to finally get to fish so I pulled out the mepps #4 and started to wear them out. The fish I caught were magnums. The fish they caught on the slab was barely over 10". After about 30 minutes of catching fish, we left them biting because the nephew was getting board and hungry so we headed back. Caught 50 but kept 35 so they could have a fish fry Saturday night. Mission accomplished!

Thanks Dennis and RoadRunnerTR21 for the reports. Weird how I could not buy a bite on a #4 at sunken island, but RoadRunner caught his fish on a #4. Just goes to show you that things can be different in the same spot depending on the fish. RoadRunner, do not know what time you showed up at sunken island, I was in a blue colored pontoon sitting in the shallow part of the hump. If that was me you spotted on top of the hump, next time stop and say hi. Always good to meet new people and share information.

justchillin according to you post I think you were out there yesterday. I was there Saturday morning around 0915. Where on the lake do you live? I'm in Key Ranch.

Great Catching Dennis
