Sand bass are schooling mornings starting strong at about 7:30 and going on up in the day if you keep looking for them. Lots of the schooling fish are small but if you slab under the boat in the schooling areas you will catch good keepers. Any kind of small topwater works on the topwater fish and we catch all our slabbin fish on Cotton Cordell Jiggin spoons 3/4 oz. chrome with a Flies-By-Night fly tied 14 inches above the spoon for doubles. You can run across schooling fish anywhere on the lake right now but best areas in the last week have been from the dam to the marina on the flats, just north of Cates Point and South west of Wolf Island. Slabbin bite has been slowing down late morning but then topwater has been picking up. The folks below had there limits at 9:20 this morning. Then they caught a bunch more til

noon when we went in.

Have fun fishing,

Tim

Bio: Tim is a full time licensed professional fishing guide on Lake Ray Roberts. He has been fishing all his life and for the last 35 years has been a serious bass fisherman. Having fished Lake Ray Roberts exclusively, since it opened to motor boats in 1990, he knows the lake. Prior to fishing on Lake Ray Roberts, Tim lived in East Texas spending a lot of time on Lake Palestine, Lake Athens, Cedar Creek Lake, and Lake Tyler. Fishing for largemeouth bass in the warmer months, and white bass all year round, Tim has always had an obsession with deep water structure fishing. Having spent countless hours on Lake Ray Roberts studying maps and searching the depths with electronics, he knows the the main lake structure on Lake Ray Roberts like the back of his hand. Using triangulation, he is as comfortable fishing spots in the middle of the lake as most fishermen are fishing stumps in the back of a creek.
