Well, after a few so-so outings lately, today was a good outing for the sandies. I got a few solid fish mid-morning on slabs at 17ft N of the swim cove, including 2 decent LMB and a couple chunk sandies, but also a boatload of those pesky yellows. The bite picked up starting about 11:30AM and continued pretty strong until 2:30PM. About 10 chunky sandies hit white Humdingers hard while trolling 17 ft water on the point S of Airplane. Then used slabs in the same area and got 10 or so more sandies. A couple boats joined in and they got a few keepers as well. Finished a bit further N on Airplane with 3 trolling fish on Humdingers and 6 more sandies on slabs and Humdingers at 13 ft. Only 1 undersized hybrid today. Best slab bite I've seen in awhile at Benbrook, and all in the heat of the early afternoon.

Good deal. Thanks for the report.

L400,

Sounds like fun - and close to home, too! I haven't had sandie action on benbrook like that in a while.
Wish I could fish this weekend. I drove to New Orleans today with the oldest daughter to drop her and her stuff (a lot of it) at Tulane. I fly back tomorrow night.
I bet you fish tomorrow, too! I sure would after a day like that at BB.

Hi EB,
Yeah, today was fun and I'll give it another shot Sun. The noon bite was kinda like your mid-day outing to RC recently (minus the big hybrids) But it got hotter than I could take by 2:30pm - - kinda odd catching the last few slab fish with the tubers buzzing all around the area. I may poke around in the trees a bit on Sun - - the sandies seem to be holding around submerged stumps near drops. Have a safe flight home.
