Well if you can deal with the wind Benbrook has been fairly productive--Oh yeah I saw 2 small boats on in it today [img]http://www.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=38690844/PictureID=1124196869/a=5219022_5219022/t_=5219022[/img] [img]http://www.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=38690844/PictureID=1124195828/a=5219022_5219022/t_=5219022[/img]

Whered you go? I was thinking bout trying out at the point at mustang tommorrow.

ok maybe the pics will work now

Nice fish! Ill be out at mustang tommorrow giving it a try. Ill be in a white dodge truck with the front end smashed.

can you launch on BB now?

What is BB?? I think they were launchin at Mustang

BB= Benbrook

Too funny Jason and thanks for posting, I had a feeling that people thought I was full of it. I take it that the fish are still biting? Awesome!! Looks like you got a few sandbass this time too. Have you caught any other hybrids and are they coming from the deeper of the point or more near the shore? I guess the question is, how far did you wade for those dudes?
I will be back in town tonight and will probably head out there tomorrow. If you get free, meet me out and lets see if we can get a limit of those guys.
The fishing down here at the coast rocks and thanks for posting the pics. The only pics I have are all the ones I have been taking with my phone. C ya

ensignjason,
Nice!! Thanks for the pics and good report on BB (thanks piepuncher too). I haven't been able to get out there due to business travel and some health issues with my Mom, but I'm itching to go once the lake level allows launching again (maybe 5 weeks off at current pumping rates - - sooner with some rain - - come on rain!!).

you know those look like hybrids to me and some look to small to keep min 17'' and there 250.00 each so be carfull

Only one of the fish is a hybrid and it is a keeper, the smaller fish are sandbass and are also legal. I was out with him and know he would throw it back if it was not legal. Jason is a good guy and respects the law, he's just been going out and having a good time. I will hit the lake up first thing in the morning, my hands are sore from all the hard saltwater fishing but I cant get enough. I will take the fly rod out tomorrow and see if I can hook into a monster on it.

so are they running still??? I haven't been near mustang or the other stream around the corner that produces well, i figured the lake was too low to even give em enough water up there... any info would be great.... FYI i use to live on the hill that over-looks mustang

Well I caught several Sat-- Today we caught several SMALL sandies 4-5 inches but it could have been a fluke--I think Ill try again tomorrow. Just find a good point over by Mustang and you should do really good. Just dont wade out too far at first. Several of my fish were caught close to the bank--As for the fish in the pic. All were legal-one was in the ice chest and if you look at the pic the fish is curled up making it look shorter. 250 bones is a little to expensive for me to pay for a couple of filets! Good luck ! Let me know how ya did!

Went out this morning and finished with 13 sandies and 0 Hybrids. For some reason they were not there today. Also caught quite a few yellow bass. Jason, did you happen to notice if any of the sandies that you caught had a yellow tint on the side of them? I caught quite a few small yellow bass and I remembered you talkiing about catching a few very small sandies.
I did manage to hook into something giant today but after 40 minutes or so, the thing pulled free. It felt like a big cat by the way it hit and the slow steady pull it gave me. The line never broke but after a long fight, the fish just pulled free. I was the most sad dude ever once the fish pulled.

Almost all of the sandies that we caught were a yellowish tint--weird huh? Anyone have any idea what causes that?
