Sand Bass???

[mr ed]

What do you use for sandies?
Its been a long time since I fished for them.
As I remember they liked roostertails.
Must be what the crowds below Keystone dam were after yesterday.

Yep. White, white and silver, white and black roostertails. They'll also hit jigs, whether cast and retrieve or bobber fishing.

I sure would like to get into some this year.

Several people have told me the Spring River above Grand is real good right now for sand bass if you dare get your boat out in this wind. Anyone been out fishing for sand bass this week?

 

[Glocktogo]

Been too windy for me to go this week so far, but I'm going to try on Friday if it will lay just a little bit.

Guys that were catching them last week at Canton said it's slowed to a a crawl with the temp drop. Water temps dropped 5* in three days.

 

[Glocktogo]

Yeah, I think it turned them off, but they're not done yet. At least not all of them.

Just got back from canton. Drove down to 'two mile' and started toward the lake. The closer we got the bigger and more frequent the fish were. Used a white shad plastic and got after it. Two of us lugged 26 2-3 pound fish back to the truck.
I'll post some pics later
Just now getting back to this. I hear they released water from FT. Supply. The defined river channel will be lost in the mud flats. There was a burn off of the reeds and we could walk all the way to the lake. Usually you are forced to fish upstream because of the reeds. they can be almost impossible. Conditions were absolutely perfect for us.

Anyone tried behind the dam at Keystone lately? I have to go to an appointment tomorrow morning in Cleveland and could stop by Keystone Dam after lunch if it is worth my time.

Ya never know unless you stop and give it a try.
