I guess I am doing it all wrong as I just fished Fork for 4 days and never caught a sandbass. caught lots of bass though from 3' to 25' deep.
I honestly have not caught one the last 10 trips or so. Maybe its the areas I am fishing or something.

I kept expecting to catch a few sandbass when I was throwing plastics but I never did especially since the majority of my fishing was in deeper water. Did not get any sandies on the flutter spoon either.

I was there last Tuesday during the bluebird and caught em everywhere I went. Every roadbed, hump, point we fished with a DD22 we caught sandies. It was really frustrating for me. We caught 10 sandies to each black bass all day. I guess I am going to have to change my tactics for Fork. The only bass we caught were on a jig, Fluke and a C-rig in 18'. Never caught a black all day on a crankbait and that is pretty rare for Fork in May....

Sand bass capitol of the world I think you are right! We all need to limit out every time we fish, it might make a dent in them.....

That's odd as TP&W website shows the following records for sandbass on the lakes you mentioned: Pines- 3.83lbs Rayburn- 4.75lbs Caddo- 2.80lbs Palestine- 2.81lbs Choke- 3.69lbs Ivie- 2.84lbs Cooper- 3.22lbs Looks like a few of the lakes have a healthy and thriving sandbass population. A 4.75lbs sandie is huge.

I fish fork the last three days me and some friends. You guys will be happy to know we took home 300 filets that were going to share with our families ,and people who can't fish and people from church. Hopefully that helps. Sad thing is we left them biting. Everybody take limit of these suckers I heard Cameron was giving out prizes for any group who took 300 or more white bass (within the legal bag limimt) out of Lake Fork (in a single day). Just show up at Lake Fork Marina and ask for your gift.
The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/09/full-13-25328-gco.jpg)

You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.
