Lots of gar working the surface this afternoon. No fish for us, but it was good to shake the boat out. Did have to cross the rollers though, but stayed out of the main lake otherwise.

Sunday morning got into a wolfpack by Dove Loop, I think I got about 100 Sandys for to total of 1 pound LOL the biggest on was 4in. There was one I didn't even know I had one till I pulled the lure up...
The boat traffic was nuts and it was a cluster F at the ramp.

Went out to Whites Branch this evening. Found some crappie guarding beds in a shallow brush pile along the bank (1-2ft of water). They were wary of me so I couldn't get them to bite, but I was able to pick off 12 bluegill and sunfish that were swimming around pestering the crappie. When I got tired of that I started throwing a white grub tail jig and ended up with 14 sandies. Only 3 keepers, but even the little guys had some good fight in 'em. Great end to the day.

Tuesday evening was slow for me. Started at Meadowmere area and had a really active school of fish and we were getting bit every drop. All of them were about 9 to 10 inches. Tried other areas out west but they were not feeding much. Birds were not active at all last night.
East Murrel point was holding good fish and we caught quite a few but by 7pm they shut down. Maybe 40 fish kept 8 to eat. All slabs and one on a mal lure. 17ft to 25ft depth range. Nice evening on the lake for a boat ride for sure.

Caught sandbass at sandbass point in 20-27ft. Didn't even use the thumper. Didn't stay long, been chasing the green fish and needed a quick fix. Caught this Joker earlier in the day, magnum racing stripe. Sandbass are everywhere, and they are feasting heavily on shad.

Biggest one I have ever seen come from that lake. Would love for them to take off in there

Great crappie! I catch a few every now and then. maybe 13" is a good one in Grapevine. Tuff fishing in GV for them unless you have your spots to go.
This evening was wild on sandies. From 5 till 6:30 the birds worked huge schools off Meadowmere and we just whacked them good. mepps and slabs worked good. Don't think Livescope was needed tonight.
lost count but right at 7 pm they shut off like a switch.
Kept a few for dinner, but most released.

Wife was off today so we took my old Skeeter and launched then fished in Twin Coves the entire time from 6:30-8:30. Managed to get 40 sandies some very small but some really nice ones in the mix. Could have kept a bunch but C&R all of them. Sorry no pics we were catching them pretty fast just did not want to bother. Fun morning catching fish and nothing broke on the boat…always a good mix lol. For whatever reason I am just not catching any LMB right now hopefully that will change soon.

FYI Twin Coves has been pretty good all week. I fished 2 other times but from the bank and caught quite a few both times.

I fished a random point on the north side yesterday morning and caught probably 20-25 sandies with some very nice 13-14 inch fish mixed in. Shad were thick on the bank I caught most on a curly tail crappie jig and live shad under a bobber.

North bank with wind blowing into it. Fished today and after working hard for the green fish I took a break, with 8lb braid and a rooster tail whacked em. Lots of sandbass (prob 30), some bass and a ton of good size catfish. There is a war going on against the shad on the north bank. Was really fun, and only lost one bait. I did get lucky and catch the bigger cats on a bass rod with a spinnerbait.

So much bait on the north side of the lake. All of these fish were in 1-2ft of water. This is just a portion of the fish I caught, had 8 species today. (Correction 9 species) crappie, Sandbass, bass, spot, blue cat, channel cat, drum, perch, and smallmouth. Lost a really good smallie at the end of the day.

Graphing now for the green fish, wind looks like it's not going to blow today. Wx says south wind, but it almost looks like it's coming out of the N-E. Will be on N bank seeing if the green fish is in on the festivities. [Linked Image]

Got out for two hours yesterday from 1pm-3pm. Strong south winds. Found (and caught) a bunch off the end of Murrell Point. 24-31ft deep was best. Bouncing Cotton Cordell silver slab off bottom. LOTS of birds working but only smaller fish on top, bigger fish were on bottom. Got tired of fighting wind so went to South shore out in front of Meadomere park and found more fish in 17ft of water. Birds there too. Fish were way more scattered in this area and wanted the slabs reeled slowly up through the water column vs on bottom. Didn't catch as many here as off of Murrell but was nice to be in calmer water. Only two spots we fished in the 2 hours.
