Well, with the wind on Monday, I took my kids and another family w kids out on the pontoon. 11 folks on board and the plan was not fishing but to go tubing and let kids swim a bit. Left Harbor Bay and hugged 30 back towards where all the boats anchor up and ski/tube etc. About 200 yds short of the buoy along the rip rap saw sand bass exploding everywhere about 2:00 in the afternoon....

Had two poles on board, one with rat-l-trap and one with Moes tail spinner. Made 20 casts, caught 18 fish in about 10 minutes...nice size sandies too. All kids caught 2 fish each then they were ready to swim and tube....all in all nice day and my 14 yr old daughter is in town from Colorado and thinks I am the ultimate fisherman now with 18 fish in 10 minutes! I am sure if we would have went "fishing" only, probably would not have been so lucky since we would have braved the rough water and went south.

thanks for sharing

just to clarify after I re-read the post. The buoy I am referring to is the hazard buoy all the way west (closer to Dalrock) on the north side of the bridge where that large hump is and the boats hang out. No idea if they will be there today, but there were acres of them busting all over yesterday.

SHHHHHHHHHH! Everything north of I-30 is part of my secret hunting grounds.

There aren't any fish north of I-30.

I never fish north of I-30. Everyone knows the dam is where all of the big fish hang out.

Which way is north, left or right! Or is that up or down?? If a deit milk can falls off a table and no1 is around; does any1 hear it?

That is cool to find fish school'n on a boat ride trip! I guess this proves that sandbass don't just school @ 6:30 am, the again @ 7 pm??

Nice Work

A one eyed man is an oracle to the blind.

Nice report, I have a guy I work with that says he always catches fish over there, maybe I need to go in that direction.

That's crazy, I've never been past the 30 bridge" NORTH"!! It's in my sights now!!! LOL

I have caught a few "Hundred" fish off the south side of the bridge, not the north!!
it's whatever!! good job!!!

North? Hmmmmm.... there's no fish up there.

I caught em there several times last year. Mainly in the early summer though. I haven't had any luck there this year though.

I know Tamp fishes North of 30 alot he said because of the three B's .... Boats...Bikinis, and Superducks favorite...Beer

Dang he found the secret hump. Now on the weekends theres lots of humps there, they usually come in pairs!! LOL
