You need to put away the trolling toys and start chasing fish again.

You got some new tactics working out with that TM down for the kitties this year??
June 5, 2016 at 8:05 am #1622900Andy – They are still biting. Picked up two nice channels and a flathead upgrade last night.

June 13, 2016 at 9:03 am #1624178I think I boated about 12 flats during the daytime this weekend, kind of lost count at one point.
Presenting 7-10″ suckers on 9/0 saltwater 3oz jigs vertical below boat. Nothing over 20# unfortunately… But I’m always amazed when a 25″ flathead munches a 9″ sucker.
Expensive weekend. 24 suckers $48. Blew up a 10′ St Croix surf rod and wore out an Abu 7000 too.
Bonus 40″ pike too.
June 15, 2016 at 10:01 pm #1624744I had to stop buying suckers – $48 for 2 dozen suckers is way too much. I’ve got a nice milk run of bait spots that I fish most nights before catfishing. I can usually catch a couple of redhorse and can always catch sheepies. I’ve had really good luck with sheepshead this year.
I bought some GULP saltwater 6 inch Grubs for playing in the timber like you are. I can rig them up weedless on jigs and drag them through just about anything. I’ve only tried them once so far and had no luck but after reading your report I may have to give it more effort.
Good Luck
June 16, 2016 at 6:41 am #1624762Sturgeon season is now ON.
That will put a damper on flatheads.
Did order some 4,6,8 oz fluke ball jigs. Pictured is my 3 oz jig on a nice sheep from last night.Plan to fish some bigger baits yet this year.

June 17, 2016 at 8:54 am #1624975NOW that is a flatty bait. im always shocked as well seeing how small flats can munch a big bait. last wkend we caught an 3.8lbs on a chunky 9″ bullie.
it even did the thump and slow clicker like a big flats does. my cousin almost thought he missed it
8’H action 80pp in 10’fow, darn near flipped it into the boat on the hook set lol
