Best white bass day this year with 104 caught plus a legal hybrid and 2 keeper yellow bass. Picked up friend Ed D at his dock at 11AM and headed out to Long Ridge. Found some on west end of it and sat there and caught 50 - mostly big females loaded with eggs. Did all catch and release today. Fish were in 21 ft water right on the bottom. We swam #4 Mepps spinners very slowly along the bottom. On the graph the fish looked like little bumps spread out along the lake bottom.

We caught a few more at the hump SE of Merimac Point, a couple a dozen at Staubach Hump and finished up at Dam Ridge where we caught another 35 and left at 4:30PM still catching them. The fish at Staubach were in 25 to 27 ft and at Dam Ridge were at 21 to 24 ft. Water temp was up to 57 degrees.

Good report Dennis. We had a great sand bass day much like you described on saturday afternoon. The sandies were big and fat and loaded with eggs. It was nice seeing boats and guides on the lake again.
