Thank you sir!

Went today from the bank for catfish. Had two good takes on chicken breast and caught one. Decent size. Will make a fine dinner... for one lol.

When I got home started looking into the fish finder and wouldn't you guess it worked fine in the garage lol. Hate when that happens.

Water was super duper muddy... not shocking. Waters up. Higher than I've seen since last spring.

So not the main lake, but i did go up the creek today and caught 16 fish only 7 keeper sandies. I would guess another 2 weeks and it'll be roaring. Glad the water level is good this year.

Don't think the Sandbass got the memo about the run up the creek. I caught sandbass on just about every hump I checked today. Murrell Park point was the best with big fat fish. Took a break from bass fishing, and was very happy to catch some good sandbass. They didn't like the bait moving much. Prob caught a hundred today just piddling around between bass fishing spots. Not one under fish, which was strange.

Nice report Prosise! You never know.....your biggest bass came while fishing for sandbass! I know this is the white bass section but how has the bass fishing been for you lately?

God willing and if the wind does not get rowdy I am going to get out and give it whirl on Friday in the Kayak! Launch out of Murrell park is the plan.

Going to fish a few jugs, see if I cannot get a catfish for dinner, and really target bass... if I graph any sandies though, well those eat pretty good too. Will give yall a full report. If anyone plans to be out, feel free to say high.

**Was very windy. Did not make it out** Seems like every Friday (my one day off) a cold front is coming through.

Note: Found a new sunken boat at the mouth of the cove at Murrell Park/point that hasn't been there long. If you side scan down the drop towards the old closed down boat ramp, in about 23ft is a sunk boat.

Lake came up 1ft from the rain in the last three days. If you want a lake level link for Grapevine use the one below.

Report for Tuesday evening of 3/12 is a big fat zero. Meadowmere off the west point, I found a big school with side imagining and as soon as I got turned around to set up on them with livescope and they were gone. I hit a few spots west and went back over to Murrell and never found anything. I scanned from 12 ft to 30 ft deep spots and never found anything. Windy and rough afternoon.
The birds were no help and were just loafing around.

Saturday 3/23 - Day started super slow, checking humps and my usual spots on the North side of the lake from Murrell all the way down north of the crusher. No trouble trouble finding fish, but getting them to eat was a different story. Stayed after them and when the wind laid we checked a couple humps NE of the island and landed on top of them. Was steady catching for 2 hours.. Lots of smalls with some good size fish mixed in.. All caught on inline spinners..

I checked murrell point, and several areas up the lake from Teton and it was a ghost town. I should have checked the thread, I needed a fix. Caught two real nice bass this morning, but the daytime bite was rough for me on the green fish. Bait is everywhere in the creeks, and if everything holds were going to have a good shad spawn. Don't know if this is correct, still have to verify but I Heard a rumor that the lake will be dropped this summer. Scheduled work on the dam, so it will be very interesting seeing the lake down. If anyone has a way to verify, please share.

I called the "Corps of Engineers" at Grapevine lake and other than road work on the dam, the gentleman hadn't heard anything about bringing the water down for dam repairs. If anyone hears anything, let me know. Not fishing until Sunday, doing chores the next few days before work. BTW, lake from about Murrelll park, and up is stained from the 35+ gusting winds we had in the last three days. When I was up near the crusher, I could see the water color up coming from the creek (Denton Creek) was really bad. The protected coves with Rocky banks were clearest, for bass fishing. But any exposed (clay) on the north side really stained up the water in those areas. The coves that are stained are loaded with bait, as the bait balls use this as cover. When the shad spawn starts, it's going to be good. Lake still coming up, and I was down on the lower end when they increased the outflow of the discharge yesterday. They changed from 115 to297 (DSF). I thought the outflow was in CFM, but the report I use has it labeled as (DSF), which I have to look up to understand. I found someone's 14" cast net, with taped mod in the middle of the channel in Meadomere on my way in. It was hung up on a concrete weighted metal structure that weighed at least 100 pounds. I recovered the net, and will check it out to see if it can be repaired. Take care all.
