yea im seeing 40% chance of rain/ t-storms Fri...ive gone on days with forecast like this and it turned out a nice day and glad i made decision to still head out...and ive had days where ive been caught in down poors . Hard to determine unless you just go...but sat does look better!

i love my Dobyns...what probs are you having?

and to add to the parking...if you get there early you wont have a prob it does get packed but ive always found a parking spot. I do notice after about 8-9am parking lot is packed then after about 1-2pm all your morning guys leave then you get your evening crowd start coming in shortly after. The ramps are great though...2 ramps and people are pretty good at putting in/taking out fast so it moves quick.

Cool thing about sandy open 24/7! So as early as you can get up! Unless you go into the timber fields you wont run into much stumps as you would briery, main lake is pretty wide open. It does have a good amount of lay-downs. The ramp IS kinda the lower end of the lake...as you come out of ramp the dam will be over to the left you can also go under the bridge you see and fish that section..some timber is in the back there. Also about mid lake you will see a cove to the left that will lead you on around to the timber in the backside. It all looks great out there Ive caught fish all over the lake. i may also go on Friday but got to wait till later in the week to be able to decide on that. Make sure your legal as wardens at times do hit the area hard but they usually check the usual and move on bc they have a lot more boats to check!! Remember 9.9hp Also one day think about hitting Briery up while your in the area as its not far from sandy at all...

chigger craw!

i have them both and only really used the 1.5 so far and have done well!! I likem!

Ive got 2 c-stix this off season bc of a steal i got on them...so far so good!! no probs as of yet!

I fished sandy for couple hours this weekend...caught 12bass all under 3lbs. All came off weightless soft plastics in about 3-6ft of water! I seen lots of bream beds but no bass beds. Kaotic Ive had good luck with top-water EARLY in the morning...i also have good luck with cranks and lip-less cranks as well. The pads and vegetation is starting to come up also. Most my fish came off some type of structure w/ wood in relation to deep water. I did see some big females that were skiddish on the flats and would take off at sight of boat or movement. Good luck i think you will love this place!! There is some standing timber on upper & lower end of lake along with small cypress?? trees coming out of water in several locations that have paid off for me. I used mostly soft plastics this last outing bc i was to lazy to crank

welcome!!

yes its a pull start...i was thinking also some type of trickle charge but was not for sure. I took a pic tonight with my cell to give better idea but not the best pic bc from cell and it was dark had to use flashlight. It has a cap that goes over plug when not in use...the pic is with cap off. 1996 Suzuki 9.9

welcome!!

welcome!!

would be cool for someone like " Hook N Look " to hold a show at briery or sandy so we could see all the monster bass and where they are holding from a underwater view! I bet you find schools of 13+ pounders swimmin around

welcome!!

RICHMOND!!! welcome...alot of central VA guys on here!

i don't and everything works fine!

I bought a mid 90's clean Suzuki 9.9hp from a older fella last season. I noticed on the motor is has some kinda small electrical hook up/plug it looks like...anyone know what that is used for? Tried doing a lil research and came up with nothing.

thats what i was curious about if it fades to a pinkish color....as the green i use fades also

welcome!!

welcome!!

sandy is a great place!! I go there when i dont feel like dealing with the stumps at briery I also like watching the bald eagles! Fishing is great there with alot of good size fish! But at times can get packed and every turn you make there is a boat...i guess same with briery but overall i love both sandy & briery!

WELCOME!!

WELCOME!!
