For the past couple of weeks I’ve found huge schools of shad around Culp Island, the original 455 road bed and in Campers Cove in the evenings. Usually the sandies tear into them the last 2 hours of daylight. For some reason they aren’t. I’ve been trying to introduce my grandsons to fishing and schooling sandies are great action and keeps their interest (my grown sons still talk about catching sandies schooling). The most we have ever caught is 4 which for an 8 and 5 year old is boring.
Anyone having any luck in the evenings?

In April and May they come to the Sanger Marina in the mornings . Last time i caught 19 , and home by 9 am

Went yesterday not much activity. Small and short lived top water action by Culp island. Only got a few off the bottom . Checked many other areas with no results. Talked to a man that had some schooling on the main lake humps early in the am. Our action didn’t start until the sun broke through about 9:30. Not many boats out on the water. Hope the action turns on soon

That’s the same I’ve experienced.
Hopefully this evening will be better.

Lot of deep water on that lake and it makes them kind of hard to target.

Has anyone fished the two humps just south of Isle-de-bois ? They are on same side of the lake as Isle and close to the mouth of the creek that runs east. Close to deep water and held sandies this time of year.

Checked it out Friday gborg no results

Well spit. Sand bass flats are a bust as well ?

It still was a great day. Went fishing then went to our favorite messican restaurant with beer and margaritas I call that a win win
