7/30/2024: Friends Lenahorse (Larry) and Graham fished with me from 9 AM til 2 PM and we caught 100: 3 legal hybrids, 3 cats, 6 yellow bass, a black bass, a big buffalo, and the rest white bass. We caught them at Sam's Hump, Key Ranch, and Merimac Point in 10 to 18 fow. It was hard to stay on fish as they were moving around constantly. Spot-lock was a great aid as we kept jogging left, right, forward, and backward to stay on fish. Graham did the best of us three casting and reeling in a Hazy-eyed slab made by Bob Maindelle. I did the best on a #2 Mepps with weight up the line. We also caught some with the smaller BoBlades.

8/27/2024 Fished from 7 AM til 12:30 PM today with Gordon. We ended up catching 83 white bass and 3 yellow bass, but the day started slow, and we had to find a different lure than what we have been catching them on lately. We started at Key Ranch, but there just were not many fish there, and the few that were there were reluctant to bite. We saw Fastguy and CCLHybrids while we were there. We tried Merimac Point next and saw a good bunch on side-scan, but only caught a couple before they vanished. Next we went to Spillway Hump and found some in 20 fow on the west end, but they wouldn't bite. Moved over to the east side and found some in 13 fow. We tried the usual Mepps 2 for this time of year, but fish were very hesitant to bite. We had already tried a small BoBlade and Kastmaster, but fish didn't want them either. Finally, I put on a Mepps 4 and started catching fish. Normally, in August and September the fish want the #2 Mepps due to the small shad. So, today was an exception to the normal. After Spillway we tried Carolyn Estates Point but couldn't stay on fish. Next stop was an un-named point farther south, and we caught several whites there. Last stop was Saint Annes Point East, and it was loaded. We caught 20 there and it was time to go in. All fish were released.

Very helpful August report. DC. THANKS. Good to see the fish got you but you still got them figured out.

8/30/2024: Well, catching is getting harder here at CC. Today we found some good schools down on structure that refused everything we threw at them including #2 Mepps. The only thing left for me to try is a smaller Mepps, so next time out I'll have a #1 rigged up. We did find some schools that would bite and caught 43 whites, a yellow bass, and a 19-inch hybrid..

Dennis, I have been catching quite a few at spillway point. Catching them on the 3/4 oz. chartreuse Bo Blade anywhere from 10 to 15 ft. of water. Lots of smaller fish with some bigger ones mixed in. I have only fished it in the mornings from about 7 till 9 or so.

Thanks for the info. Will give that a try.

Fished late yesterday and from 11:20 to 1:40 today. I found fish on shallow structures - Campbell's Hump. Merimac Point, and Key Ranch. Did not find fish at Greenhouse Ridge, East Dam Hump, Dam Hump West of Pole, Dam Ridge, Drew's Humps, Pole Dance Point, Carolyn Estates Point, Kevin's Hump, Iron Wall Hump, Slide Hump, 3-Jug Hump, Sam's Hump. and Long Ridge West. Bait's that caught fish were Mepps 2 and 1 and Panther Martin. Kastmaster and BoBlade did not. Jerk start to get best results.

Oops, it's fall. Guess I should have started a Fall string for CC.

Thanks for the report Dennis. I fished spillway point both Saturday and Sunday in the morning and was still catching them on the 3/4oz. chartreuse BoBlade. Still lots of smaller fish in the 10 to 12 inch range with bigger ones mixed in. Was fishing both days in 10 to 11ft. and casting all around the boat. Most fish were caught working the BoBlade horizontally along the drop off and shallow water like you do a Mepps. They did start schooling Sunday morning , but not for long and they were right up next to the bank.

This is my first post. I follow this thread regularly and live and fish CCL. I am trying to find where to buy the boblade lures? Any help would surely be appreciated. I caught about a dozen decent 12” sandies on Spillway Hump but was kinda slow.

Mr. Nalls, Google search 28 Star Fishing and go to the website. Click on the White Bass option and then click on M R Baits in Rockwall. You can order them from there.

Thank you! I just placed an order.

Mark Bovee is the owner of M R Baits, he lives in Rockwall. Here is his cell number, call and he will pick up and place your order.

All of his lures work amazingly well and the hooks and paint work are top notch.
