Sandbass, Strippers, Crappie, Catfish are biting Great


During the Month of April the fishing has been really good here on beautiful Lake Whitney. I try to go every morning while it's cool, and the wind is calm. I'm usually on the lake for about 45 minutes before I catch my limit of sandbass (25). When fishing for these sandbass look for the birds that are feeding on the shad in the lakes. Birds will be hitting the water for these shad and the sandbass are below the baitfish eating them. You can catch fish just about on every cast. I have been using silver spoons and silver rattle traps and they snatch it up. The Lake is still on the low side but the fishing is great. Sandbass and Crappie are in the spawning mode at this time so they are feeding hard. After the spawn you will have to search for these great game fish. In the photo you will see where me and my neighbor went out and landed 50 sandbass in less than an hour. The day would have been perfect if only he would have helped me clean

them. Good luck.
