Crappie are doing the same thing as they have been for a month. 10-14 ft.



Had almost 20 in the boat within 30-45 mins. Only one small throw back today. Most fish were 12 inches average to 14 inches. Minnows and jigs.

My client asked how the sandies were doing on the lake. So we went to a submerged boat ramp.








Caught 30-40 within a 1/2 hour and moved on to crappie again. He didn't want to keep any sandies. I bet if we anchored on the spot, everyday you could catch over 500 of those sandies within 5 hours. Every drop produces 1-2 sandies.


$150 /2 people 5-6 hours of non stop catching. $75 a person

Let's go fishing catching!

Very cool carey 75 bucks for 50 white bass fillets make $en$e

Nice fish and a super report. Thanks for sharing.

Had Mr. Mart & Mike in the boat today. It was my decision on what we were after, so I wanted action. So we B-lined it to the Magic Road Bed. I had to drift over the road bed with no engine on so the school wouldn't spook. So the pic is not crystal clear, but it works.



They were piled up on the sides of the road bed and a bunch on the bed itself. Looked like the school would hop to the other side of the rocks from time to time. You can not slab vertical on these beds. As soon as the boat gets on top of them they leave and spread out. You have to be 30 ft away from them and cast to them and drag the slabs just off the bottom and and lift the rod tip like a minnow would swim. Dont reel faster that a shad can swim. Soccer goal bouie system worked very well again. Keeps your slab just off the rocks and prevent snagging. If you get hung up, break it off. If you go chasing every snag, you spook the school for 15-20 mins. I make my own slabs, so I don't care for the loss. You might..... Your call, but they will spook.



1/4 oz is key to match the hatch. The shad they are eating, are the exact size. Chartreuse is key as well. Teaser fly or jig will not matter. Once one fish feeds it triggers all of them to feed. So then what ever is around they will eat it. If you stay off the road beds, they will surface from time to time in short bursts for 10-15 seconds. A 3 inch torpedo or topwater in silver, will just hook the bigger keepers. I have found out that, if you change your hooks to bronze and not silver, you get way less yellows and more of the bigger fish. The yellows don't want the slab, they want those (3) shiny schooling shad, that are actually your treble hooks. The hooks are silver like a small minnow so they want to eat it and not your slab. So, camouflage it! Less head ache. Crimp the barbs and u will have less head ache as well. I also cut one barb off.

Other than that, if you anchor right, you can expect to catch fish after fish after fish. Mr. Mart had to sit down after awhile. Poor guys fore arms and wrist was getting sore from all the Sand Bass. I bet a lot had to do with how many he was catching at a time..... ?



Yup, he was catching three at a time. Gets a bit old after awhile, hard to control three fish at a time on the boat. Kinda dangerous too.



You can see them on the right side of this road bed. You can see the individual sandies just to the right of the temperature reading. This is Down Imaging. The fish look like pop corn kinda. Then below in traditional 2D sonar, you can see them bubbling and the beginning of the road bed disappears with the sonar saying to cast to that side of the road bed. The other side was empty. But again, they were hopping back and forth rocks to rocks... If you don't spook them, you will have very good results.

I have no clue how many we caught today. It was not often we went with out a bite. Some good yellow bass, large mouth bass, and a good channel cat was boated.

After we limited, we went 20 ft to the right of the road bed and hit a brush pile in 10 ft of water. Caught a dozen crappie really fast. By the time I lost my 5 th jig in the mess below us, we called it a success and went for home.

Good lookin sandies for Lavon. Nice work Carey.

First hand example of why not to use heavy line. Break it off without pulling or displacing ur target or fishing zone. Good report and pics to document!

Thats another great report, Carey!!!

Great catch and day of fishing mr.carey. where do you launch from, and what time do u leave.

I put in at East Fork Park at the cove side ramp on the far east corner of the park. It's protected from all the wind and waves.




Sandies and crappie doing the same thing today. Hit the largemouth first, they didn't wanna play, so we hit the sandies. Caught 50-100 of those, then crappie.

Same patterns. Wind died completely and the lake went to glass at 3 pm, slowed way down.

The sandies never stop biting. From 7-8 am the bite is great!

We Will Limit Every Trip! It's almost impossible not to.

They have been in the same spots since April. Average size is 11-13 inches with some 14-15's mixed in. We have been slabbing up some big channel cats too. Crappie are good as well everyday. Everywhere we went, we landed fish. You actually don't have to move at all till you limit. Today was catch Black Bass, Sandies, and Crappie, so we were all over lake. Fun stuff!

Above, you might want to slab this hump! All sand bass.

Great screen shots, you are on em

Today was a kid trip. Dad said to keep the kids happy. PERFECT! So that made it my choice on what to fish for. I love days like these.

The amout of fish you pass on the way to your favorite fishing spot is crazy. You can launch your boat and actually catch fish right there. Heck, you can stand on the bank and catch fish on the ramps. Largemouth love ramps to ambush shad eating the algea. Ramps usually have rock on both side and obviously, an end. The end of the ramp usually drops deep due to all the back wash from boats trying to trailer the wrong way. So the Largemouth sit on the rocks and below the ramp where it ends and come out and attack shad out in the open. -but now I just rambled... So anyways, you pass a lot of fish. Here is what I am talking about. I decided to try and get as many Lake Records in the boat I could get! So it was a catch everything day. Last night I rigged all my rods for everything that swims that was catchable with rod and reel.





------New Lake Lavon Jr. Records

(pending paper work)------

Channel Catfish Jr Record Holder Below:



Blue Gill Jr. Record Holder Below:



They were under the tires as usual. 3-5 ft down. We used raw bacon for those. Bacon stays on the hook, the white fat part. you can catch 100 gills till it falls off.

I think this was in December. It was winter in the video. Summer time is stupid easy for these little critters.



White Bass Jr. Record Holder below:



Found these in the same places. The sandies were on the move today. Got them at the Road beds and glass house. I was side scanning in 15 ft of water looking for them. Then I thought it was chatter cause it said the fish were in 2 ft of water right up on the bank of the point. Joined another boat that had kids and everyone was catching.



White Crappie were also landed ( mostly by the little one. He was a Crappie King! Same Pattern on these as usual. Most were in 10 ft on brush).



I goofed up and and mixed lakes up. I thought we had the Jr Record Largemouth (Black Bass)to we stopped fishing for them. Only took 15 minutes to land a keeper. Wish I would have double checked on that one. They were popping shad everywhere. Saw some 3-4 lbres bust right near the rocks and casted to one that busted and he landed a good one though.....



Stopped at 8 spots which all hold different kinds of fish all thier own ( blue gills live over there, Black Bass live here, Crappie live there, sandies live 40 ft that way, carp are around the bend ( we had that record too, but it bent the hook str8 !) ect.... and the kiddos landed every single fish we were targeting. Made my trip easy and the fish were working with me. Crappie were way way slow today anyways

Variety fishing day. Way to set so many records for the kids.

Carey that is awesome! Glad you got those kids on fish and some nice ones at that!

Yesterday was the number one hardest day on Lavon. A north wind came thru and shut me down. I think the tally was 4 crappie and 7 sandies. Nothing wanted to play with me.

Today was diff. The fish wanted to play. They are back on the regular pattern. We nailed fish everywhere we went today. I had clients today that wanted to learn their electronics and locating fish. No problem! First two hours we looked at brush piles and road beds and a few other spots and fish. After I was satisfied they knew what was going on with the fish finder, I showed them how to hit the sandies. Found them at the normal spots. After that we hit the crappie, same thing, they were in the same pattern as last week. No pics today.

Plano Keith is out there tearing them up as we speak. I'm sure we will get a report soon.
