I fished from meadomere to Scott's landing south side of the lake. Not a peep from the sandbass. Green fish were cooperating, and I had a good day. I did check meadomere point and the end was a ghost town. I think the west end of the lake is indeed the place to go as JWC stated. Working next 3 days, will be hitting it Sunday.

Take care all.

The sandies were thick out west of (rockcrusher) on various humps in 22'-24' water Wednesday evening. I only fished from 5:30 to 7 pm. Only caught 2 channel cats, but one was 2 to 3 lbs.
Caught non-stop till the wife got bored watching me catch fish. Stopped a Meadomere point early but not much there when I went through. All slabs and Bo-Slabs. didn't matter what color either.

Nice smallmouth indeed!

Do you fish with those guys who wade out on the point near the Ice Box? You know Murrell park? Last I was out there I saw 5-6 guys in waders out there. Reminded me of watching guys surf fishing for Stripers on the East Coast. Possible you were one of them? That would have been Friday the 19th.

I have only caught one smallmouth on Grapevine and it was on my little fly rod of all things. Not in that area though... was on the south side near Scotts landing.

And for the record Prosise is a brave man going out there to fish on Memorial Day weekend! I fished Texoma Friday and Saturday morning, but we were off the water and headed home 11am... that was when they started to come out lol. Masses of Ski boats, jet boats, cruisers, pontoon boats, rental boats, dingies, sail boats, inflatable boats, recreational kayakers, SUPs, powered boogie boards, wind surfers... you name it.

It looked like a small boat Naval invasion force was headed out...

Rudy and I used to fish the Ice Box years ago but I have not in a long time. I am just a bit west of there I think any of the rocky shoreline is good this time of year but I tend to fish the shallow points and wade out a bit. I probably won’t be back out there until Tuesday.

I fished yesterday on the south side around Dove, and the mouth of scotts. I should have left at 10am, The convention of the "Village Idiots" was painful. I had 40 ft yachts cruising by me at full speed at several locations. The jet ski's were coming within a half cast of my boat, and they didn't even think there was a problem. I ran across several TFF'rs yesterday and met a new one. Nice to meet everyone. I did catch some big sandbass on the bottom in 25 ft out by dove ramp, but it did not last long. This was early, and I didn't catch another sandbass for the rest of my trip. I checked many humps between dove, and scotts graphing and looking for structure for the green fish.

I am staying home today, and will be working on the boat. I have some switch's I need to swap out, and I have a leak in one of the lines from the livewell to the back of the boat. Just wanted to thank Mr.R for the information for Lewisville, and all the fun we have had fishing on GV. I have known Mr. R for several years, and he frequents Grapevine to whack on the sand bass. He is a smart man, and always finds the fish. If you ever see him out on the lake, don't be afraid to say hello. He is a lurker on TFF, but he does not add info but he will happily help you on the water. He has a wealth of info on Lewisville, Tawakoni, and GV. He helped me when I first went to Tawakoni and me and Mason really whacked the Hybrids, sand bass, and some stripers.

Be on the lookout for this "Usual Suspect" Many thanks for all the info you have given me Mr. "R".

You are a braver man than I. I can't believe you survived the mouth of Scotts landing without damage or death.
Yeah, GV is lawless and is pretty much combat fishing on holidays. I'll be missing for a couple of weeks from GV, but plan to get back as soon as possible.

Up the lake, just west of Twin Coves there is a single buoy out in the middle of the lake. This is the marker for the Rock Crusher. For a while there was no buoy on it. Just look for the white/orange buoy in the middle of the lake. It is a little deeper than I like, but many people whack them there. I personally like the humps, as there is less of a chance to get hung up.

Here is the video I watched years ago, and helped me find it.. It didn't have a buoy on it then. If you pause the video, you can write down the GPS coordinates.
