I have not been on the lake in 5 weeks. Normally I don't fish on the weekend but this kid wanted to go out and give it a try. Bad news was he only had 3 hours to fish. We briefly stopped at Spillway hump but there were so many boats already there and the one spot we looked at didn't have much to offer. Tennis court was pretty well covered up so we went back down the Merimac Point. Caught several good sandbass there in 15 to 18 FOW. We then took a look at Long Ridge but there were boats on east and west so worked our way up the west side and found a big pile of active fish at Key Ranch Drop Off. They were in 15 to 18 FOW. I used the MAL Original in chartreuse and the kid used MAL Original in white and a chartreuse slab. It was almost non stop catching until we had to head in. We caught 52.

I forgot to share a story about something that happened Saturday morning. We were fishing Merimac Hump and I was using the MAL original. I hung into something that was stuck at first and then it got a bit mushy and the lure started coming in. As I pulled the lure out of the water, I could see my hook was attached to a line. The line come off and I couldn't get it before it sunk. After a few more casts, I hooked the line again and again it came off of the hook but this time the line floated. I quickly grabbed it and started pulling it hand over hand out of he water but I was getting pressure from the other end. I assumed that I was bringing in the lure that was on the attached broken line and I was right. But I also felt what seemed like a fish. Again, I was right. Somebody was trolling a hell pet rig and their braided line either broke or it came off the reel spool because there was a pretty good amount of line. So I got a nice looking hellbender with a pet spoon that had a sandbass attached. The sandbass was in great shape so I released it. If you can tell me what color the pet spoon was and the color and type of line you used to make your hell pet rig, I'll give it back to you if you want to come and get it.

I took a guy out today that has only sandbass fished a couple of times. I instructed him on the MAL original saw tooth method and he started catching fish. He would have caught more if he let the lure fall straight to the bottom by opening his bail but I was not going to press the issue. Most of the fish were barely keepers. We kept 12 11" to 13" fish for him and his wife to eat. We caught over 60 sandbass, 3 yellow bass and 2 cats. Key Ranch drop off and Merimac Hump in 18' to 20' was best. Looked at Long Ridge, Iron wall and Spillway hump. I saw fish but not in good numbers. It really started to get hot out there by 11:00 so we came in.

Here's a report that can get you excited about Cedar Creek potential fishing greatness: I had about an hour and a half to fish last Friday before needing to come back and take the wife shopping. As I sat looking out at the lake, a premonition came to me as to a structure where I might catch some hybrids. So, with several new heavy inline spinners (the HeyTODD and HeyCLIFF) in hand, I launched, went straight to the spot, and spot-locked without looking for fish on my graph. I was casting from about 17 fow into 25 to 30 fow and working the spinner up the slope. Within 5 minutes, I had caught two legal hybrids. After an hour and a half, I had caught 16 legal hybrids with three more that pulled off, 8 sandies, a yellow bass, and a catfish - all from that one spot-lock. I caught 20+ inch hybrids on my last two casts then headed home. That's the most legal hybrids I've ever caught anywhere by myself in a single outing. I went back Saturday morning. but they weren't there. Just shows what CAN happen on any day.

7/27/2024: Fished with Graham in his boat from 7:30 AM to 1 PM and caught 131: 121 whites, 4 legal hybrids, 1 short, 3 yellow bass. and 2 cats. We caught fish in 13 to 20 fow at Key Ranch, Merimac, Kevin's Hump, the north shoreline of Lynn's Creek, Enchanted Isle Ridge, and Spillway Hump where we caught the most. We caught them on small lime BoBlades, #4 silver Mepps, #2 silver Mepps, white hazy-eyed slabs, and white self-made BoBlade style lures. At Enchanted Isle Ridge they wanted something white worked medium slow. Everywhere else, they wanted it worked fast. At present I believe there are both full grown threadfin shad and the new hatch in the lake, and fish may be feeding on either or both. So, I have some rods ready with #2 Mepps and small BoBlades for fish feeding on the small shad, and some rods rigged with #4 Mepps and larger BoBlades for fish feeding on full grown shad.

I was thinking as we near August, the shad hatch may influence what they will want. I'll be finishing up my to do list by Tuesday. I'll be out mid week and hit them. Thanks for the report Dennis!
