Todd and I went to Ray Roberts this morning to try some new techniques and locations for blues. Got to the lake to find the area we were going to fish had some serious white caps and rollers. So, we decided to stay out of the wind a little and fish areas I was more familiar with. First spot, we marked good fish, but after 20 minutes no takers. Decided to get out in the wind and look at some other areas. Next stop was covered with bait and active fish around. The screen had bait balls getting busted with sand bass and catfish suspended around it picking of shad getting busted up by the sand bass. We put out rods for cats and tossed some slabs for sand bass. Caught about a dozen of each in quick fashion and left to check other areas.
Arrived at our next area to graph and found same scenario with bait, sand bass, and blues so we fished for both catching both. Largest blue was still only 11 pounds, so we moved out to 60+ feet of water and caught a good blue, but then nothing. The birds started working a hundred yards from us, so we headed over to catch some sand bass and that we did. The wind even changed direction from the NW to the SW and that didn't stop the action. Tim Wike from ReelinRayRoberts showed up with clients and they looked like they were having a blast too.
Total we probably had in the 80 range for sand bass and around 40 catfish for the day. A beautiful day on Lake Ray Roberts!
