I could not even see many brush piles on Saturday due to all the shad. They were spawning on everything!

Decent day, lots of interesting things..... Sandbass everywhere..

Nice fish.

Sandies are pretty easy in Twin Coves right now fished on bank next to another TFF’er JCG57 nice gentleman. Not as good as yesterday which was crazy good but still managed quite a few on various baits. Snakes are definitely out had 2 that took up residence in the rocks right in front of me for quite awhile.

Enjoyed meeting you as well, Hard Rain. Only tried a few casts with the fly rod after you left; did not feel comfortable wading with your pet snakes.

Funny, yeah it seemed that way but probably more because I threw a couple dead shad down there a sandie regurgitated.

Shad were everywhere yesterday. I caught sandies two at a time in a cove on the north bank. Caught crappie here and there but nothing stacked up. The amount of bait in this lake is truly incredible

Here is what is going on when the wind blows hard, this is the north bank about halfway between twin coves and rocky point. Carp/catfish/drum/sandbass/and some bass. You could go fishing with a club and a dip net.

In the afternoon just cruise around and find the birds. A 6-8ft crankbait, a 3/8 oz roostertail, spoon, jig, wife's earring, etc will catch fish. I checked the humps north of the crusher and they were saturated with small sandbass. The birds are prob the best bet right now, try to get down thru the top fish and you will get the better fish. The crankbait seems to do the best on the big ones. Take care all, and if you are having trouble shoot me an instant message and I will be happy to help you. I didn't use the Bluetooth thumper this week, but if you want to catch fish it makes it. So much more fun.

Good stuff!

I assume I am speaking for most reading this thread but it is great how much info Prosie shares for Lake Grapevine and very much appreciated

Thank you, much appreciated. Dad taught me that what goes out comes back double (good or bad). I have been blessed with the time I spend out doing what I love. The people I meet from the forum are always refreshing to meet. And had connected me with some amazing fishermen/fisher-women. This has also connected me with my fishing mentor who has taught me so much about GV chasing the green fish. I always like to see others post information on this thread. It doesn't matter what small thing people add, it adds to the big picture about the lake.

Here is another video of the shad spawn, and how the fish were responding.

Thanks Brent! You have helped a lot of people find fish. I try to contribute but your posts are much better. I know I look for your truck every time I pull up to the ramp. I keep missing you apparently.

Shad still on the banks early at Twin Coves wife was off today we were going to take the boat but with the strong wind blowing in decided just to fish from the bank. JCG57 was there with his kayak and saw him catching fish. We caught just over 60 in less than 2 hours but quite a few small ones mixed in still tons of fun on light tackle.

In that wind there was more paddling than catching, but a decent workout at least. Did hook something of substance (likely a carp) right off the main western point leading into Twin Coves and got to enjoy a two-minute sleigh ride before the hook came out.
