Treebass strikes again LOL!


Looks like the sandies are running larger this year.

Report: Round II ( Fly Fishing)



Jack wanted to try the sandies out on the fly rod so he hooked up with his buddy John and we hit the water. Jack already got his limit this morning, so he was catch and release learning how to fly fish. If jack will set the hook before the fish poops it out, he will be fine.

20 mph winds. Not where we are. The trees break the wind down to nothing while fishing feeder creeks and some rivers. No wind and no wind chill. No trailer. No boat. No depth finder needed but your eyes while walking the banks looking for sandies. Once u find them, they should be there till mid May!

Report: Monday

Fishing was slow. The air pressure was way too low today at 29.74 dropping. When it superlow or superhigh the fish get real finicky and spooky. There's one spot where I'm fishing that you can see a school of 50 or so. They were schooling from shady spot to a shady spot. If you casted into the shady spot that they were holding, they would spook and go to the next shady spot. So what we were doing is putting our minnow in one of the shady spots and waiting for them to school back to that spot. Worked very well that way. The deeper holes were obviously holding more fish. Just more fun to hit the fish we could see eat the bait.

Slow, but still hit two man limit.

BaffinBay called me and said he was headed to Creek/River/Stream #X-254, so I hopped in the truck and went down there. I decided I was going to throw the fly rod for a bit, so I strung it up and went looking for BaffinBay in the woods. When I found him, I started throwing things in the woods behind him, and freaked him out a bit.

I fished for about an hour and a half and quickly filled up a stringer of sandies, while I watched BB throw everything in his tackle box like usual. Had a good time as always and still finished a bunch of chores.




1/64th oz White Neer Deer @ 3.5 ft deep. Small twitches in the strike zone and it was Sandie Time. All fish were males. Females should show up after the next rain.

big males...how was vegas?

I wanna get down on the fly rod sandies! Are u using the same setup u would use up in bb for trout??

Yup

Another day. Same thing.

Another lousy day in paradise....
Which is a great fly fishing book btw

Bass Pro Shop in Garland is having a sale this Saturday and Sunday, and they have a tank set up downstairs for the kiddos to fish in. I went out today and caught 300 or so Blue Gills and stocked the Kid Tank at the store. -So go get em!


When I was coming home this afternoon crossing over George Bush over the lake, fish for blowing up everywhere, pelican seagulls and cormorants were bombing the shad and I could see huge explosions from the hybrids hitting shad. There is a lot of timber over that way so be careful if you go. FYI.

Oh man, may have to try to get out there tomorrow!

Report: over 100+ sandies landed. (15 mins of video during the trip edited down)

I'd say it doesn't get any better than that, but it does! The hybrids and the BIG female sandies will show up very soon!

Another day. Same thing. They bit anything we threw at them.

I had the pleasure fishing with Cable Smith and his dad a day ago. Cable Smith is the host of the Lonestaroutdoorshow.com. He does the radio show on Saturday mornings at 8-9 am and you can hear my interview with him on the radio, 95.3 fm this Saturday morning.
He has never flyfished before, so I brought my flyrod and we hit the creek. We practiced roll casting for about 15-20 minutes, after he got that done and he graduated the roll cast, we went hunting for the Sandbass.

Awesome! Looks like it is GO time!
