I was fishing the dam this morning at 2am and fish were going crazy trying to get my black buzzbait. Ended up being sandbass, prob spawning on the dam. They were in 6 inches of water, and thick.. Left them looking for the green fish.

Interesting! I did not know they spawn at temps that low

Arrived at the lake at 10am to strictly chase the sandies. Cloudy with manageable wind all day. Bounced around between spots both shallow, x<10, and deep x< 25. Found groups of fish at the 20ft range on most points in the box area of Twin Coves across to Meadowmere down to the island and back across to roughly Rockledge Park. Bait balls everywhere and with my DI can see groups of fish in area.
Many of them were inactive and could catch only a couple out of each group. However, when the schools became active, the birds pinpointed the location and you could trolling motor into it close enough to cast and catch 1 per 5 or so casts. Caught ours on an inline spinner such as a Terminator. JWC Nauticstar had them on the bottom pretty good with slabs. Birds quit, you move kinda deal. I couldnt find any activity on the dam or up in the coves. All kind of sizes. Eggs/Milt in all but it seems that they are on the edge of ready and havent spawned out just yet............my observation only. Headed back out tomorrow.

Should be back out about 3 ish. Alot of fish just no size to them Friday. PM seems to be the best. fixed my trolling motor so maybe I won't break a prop today.

Fished today from the island past lakeview park and caught 100 , watch for the birds they are working bait , if the birds are flying they are there even if you don’t see any topwater action , caught them on slabs tail spinners rattle traps just about anything you threw at them you could get something to bit , if it slows don’t don’t worry they will be back at it soon , we fished from 9 till 12 and messed around some time in between just driving and looking
Biggest fish went 14.5 in and smallest was very small

Swamp Hunter, glad you found them. Saturday was slow at best for me. I had to move around and only had 4 keepers from 3 to 6 pm. Calm wind bright sky. No bird action for me. Total of approx 25 fish. Hit half a dozen spots and picked up fish everywhere I went, but it would be 3 or 5 fish and then nothing.

So are the fish done in the creek?

Not sure in the creek but, so many fish stay out on the lake to spawn at GV that creek fishing isn't a must if you have a boat.

Still plenty of white bass in twin coves

I feel most fish are done in the creeks this year

Some of the fish we caught Sunday had eggs so they are for sure spawning in the lake

Shad spawn going on all over the lake right now. Most coves on the lake are active early to mid morning. Just ease up to the banks and look for the shad jumping, it will look like they are trying to jump up on dry land. We caught jumbo sandbass up in 6-7ft on a main point when the sun came up yesterday. Non-stop action and no thumper. As long as you see the shade, the sandbass are close. Caught some decent ones, and my fishing mentor hooked a big catfish up shallow on Murrell point later in the day when we saw the birds working the banks. If you don't see white cranes move on, the cranes are the bait finders..

I hope the evening bite is good tonight. Should be out there by 5pm.
