Seems like everyone I talk to that fished up there had a slow weekend. We had bass schooling all over and couldn't get them to hit anything

Same with us.

One of my cousins has a camp in your area and I am told they are catching them schooling with a white fluke.... may try that

I came home yesterday. I can handle the heat when i'm at least catching a few, but going without a bump makes it tough. Heck, i only saw schooling one evening and those were whites. Good luck the rest of your trip.

I was fishing out of Kites Landing Thursday-Sunday. Bass fishing was really slow. Even locals that normally do well were really working hard for a few bites. Did catch 7 cats on jugs. Largest went 20lbs. The rest were all solid 5lb blues. Had enough for a fry Saturday night.

Same here. Fished lowes and work cut inside millionaires point from 4-18 ft of water and struggled Fished inside and outside grass lines and creek bends. Then went after the schoolies with pop r's chugs rogues etc and only way we could get strike was having the bait land right when and where the shad were jumping out of the water. I heard they were moping up on em early last week

Hell of a fish Jude. We're y'all fishing buzz baits/topwaters? Or soft plastics

secret to those schoolies is to imitate the small shad as closesly as possible. Small white swimming baits or small silver spoons. maybe even some sort of saltwater bait that looks like a pogie. We found the schoolies at the mouth of indian and buck creek and also the mouth to the 255 boat ramp

I was up on the weekend of the 20th of this month. We also ran into schoolers, we were catching fish on shad colored flukes and chug bugs. When the schoolers would go down we were able to pick up a steady bite on bandit 200 series crankbaits and chrome rattle traps fishing the trap in a hop and drag motion. We also caught a good many whites while fishing the chrome trap.

We caught a few fishing main lake points on DD22's and 1oz Jigs, nothing consistant enough to fight the wind.

Awesome fish by the way!!

I tried a 1oz jig and crank baits but soon found out they don't work well in a yak, they drug me in which ever direction I would gas

Indian creek is where we seen them schooling, I am goin next week for a few days and plan to bring my boat so I can try to catch them schooling again

Last night sucked again. Had 3 bites and didn't land anything.

We were throwing plastics and spinners.

Time to rig a big treble hook and start snagging them suckers

We picked up a few on a wing ding 1/2 oz. We fished midlake and could cast into schoolers with wing ding and catch as long as they were schooling which usually is not very long this year for some reason.
