And the final score is....

Jeff - 50
Sand Bass - 0

Last week was my spring break, which I spent wisely......fishing. I went to the D/FW metroplex to fish with my cousin. He lives on Lake Alverado, and has a bass boat. We fished Alverado Wednesday and Thursday, catching a bunch of sand bass, a few largemouth bass, a catfish, and a crappie. The wind was blowing hard both days, and the fish were in about 8 feet of water off two points. Casting wasn't very effective, so we started trolling, and got bite after bite using white shad-colored crankbaits. They weren't the magnum-sized sand bass I was hoping for, but all were at the 11-13" range, so I took the opportunity to fill my freezer with some fish filets.;)

Then we went fishing on Aquilla Friday got skunked.[:@]

I live ten minutes from Alvarado, and it's a nice small lake. I've caught as many as 30 blacks on one day.. I rarely fish there however, since I've been told not to eat anything out of that lake.. Pollution from the pesticides, but it probably won't hurt you :D... Let me know if you die from them okay?:D don't feel bad about Aquilla, I get skunked there all the time.. My son kills them when he goes, then I go with him, and we can't buy a fish...

Sand bass (white bass)they do. When they are schooling I've caught several hundred in a weekend. Then I'll keep a few and have a fish fry, but I prefer crappie, or catfish..

RE: And the final score is....

I tried to catch crappie on some minnows, but no such luck. The only crappie I caught was one that took a crankbait while I was trolling for sandbass.

And I like catfish, too. But catfish are a lot worse about being hit or miss flavor wise. One may taste great, but the next may taste terrible.
