I fished on Tuesday 1-2-24 and if you go due north off of sandbass hump until your in the 30-35 ft range. (This is the hump out in front of the west side entrance of scotts landing) I found some big sandbass out off the drop, but they didn't want anything to do with my spoon. I accidentally snagged one, and it was in the 15 inch size.. I could see others on livescope, but they didn't want anything to do with me. If you had some shad, or maybe a inline spinner you would be in business. Didn't stay long, and I was looking for the green fish primarily. Take care all.. Prosise

I have not been using soft plastics in the last year. Spoons, and inline spinners only while sandbass fishing. Been chasing the green fish primarily. Caught a real nice bass this morning about an hour before sunrise (7.03lbs).

Excellent green fish Prosise! That fish looks like it has been loading up for the winter! Totally agree, 21'ish inch fish at 7 pounds is a healthy girl. This last year all my biggest fish were caught about an hour before sunrise. It was a brutal decision, but the reward was well worth it. Bait is plentiful in GV, and if the level is up like it is during the shad spawn it will continue to be a surplus bait lake. Take care all. Going to fish wed with my mentor, I found a massive school of really big fish (not drum or gar) that will not hit anything I throw at them. My mentor thinks it could be catfish. So if he is right I will report. I found giant schools of big fish in 39ft of water and there are many of them. They are a couple hundred yards west of the location I referenced in the earlier post. Will know more wed. Keep warm, and many blessings. My chores today is smoking chicken thighs, and enjoying a few double IPA's. Prosise

Looking forward to following along with another year of adventures on the mighty Vine and hope to run into on your water again! Dan It's always a pleasure crossing paths with the TFF crowd. I had a surprise last week, ran into someone I haven't seen in a couple years. Me and Mr P. We're out on the drop at Meadomere catching sandbass, and I caught a 8.1lb bass on a jigging spoon. He took the picture for me before we released her. He was at the ramp last week, and reminded me of that day. I will be chasing the green fish until the sandbass start their party in March, but I will be tinkering with the lake spawners. Always enjoy the people, and stories we create out there. Take care all. Here was the Fluke bass. It was named by my mentor, as it was a fluke she was out at that location. Note: up until this year the three largest bass I had caught were all landed while I was sandbass fishing. That should tell you something about the big girls. This was an exciting experience me and Mr P. experienced that day. And lastly, the top 4 largest bass I have caught on GV, either the thumper was running on the Bluetooth speaker or the music was loud as I could play it. Whew on that for a minute... Nov-8-2021 out off the drop in Meadomere. This video hasn't been shared on the forum before.

I saw cats on bottom in 20-25 ft out in front of twin coves last week. There were tons of them.
