sand bass report

[PiKapp]

Down here in middle georgia we don't expect to see the bass begin to spawn until around late march, early april. I was once told they will run when the dogwoods bloom, and last year I have decided this bit of advice is dead on, or at least for last year

I didn't go last weekend. I stayed home and took care of sick kids and worked on some cane rods I had promissed as gifts. I'm going this weekend for sure but I'm not sure if I wanna try the sandies or the trout.

Mike,

Decisions, decisions, decisions Hope the kiddos are getting over the bug.

Reports are coming in that the fish are starting to show up in the creeks and feeders in the central Texas area around Austin.

Its getting really nice here in North Texas, 72? here in Collin County. So I expect water temps are heating up very nicely south of here.

I know that wipers(whit bass/striper hybrids) love to feast on gizzard shad. Maybe a gizzard shad fly woudl work...

I live in Texas. I have been wearing the sandies out in the Neches river.

I've been catching them all winter at the spillway at Carters Lake in Ga. I don't think they['ve started spawning yet, though. They hit small Clouser minnows like there's no tomorrow. Yellow bass, too! I've started catching some crappie in the last few days, as well.

Semper Fi!

Anthony,

I had tied a clouser with white bottom and gray top with some silver flashabou in it and a small dab of red wool below the eyes and had good success with it when the whites are chasing shad schools in the heat of the summer but not had much luck on it during the spawn for some reason. I like Yellow/Black with read eyes and also Orange/CHartruese green when the water is really murky.
