Flats?

[jasoncap]

they were channels most were 5-8 pounds . Dont have camera. We were fishing for bait and came across a school of 16-20" small mouth they were crazy hungry. Fishing was very good last night. We were crushing gills also and stocken up for flats but no takes last night for flats. We never really got in the channel just got in to our bait spot at 6:30 and left at midnight we ran out of crawlers and had a good amount of fish. My biggest fear was running out of crawlers and it happened last night but it was a blast.

I would say about 2 feet high of being perfect level.

So are we "perfect" yet!

[Scott K]

Pretty close to it. The sand bars, and points are showing now, and the snag piles are able to be identified a little better. I would be happy if it stayed at this level all year!

That would be nice if it were more consistent. But then again, it's always an adventure this way.

Your not missing much, but I do think they will be turning on any day now!

[rushing]

Was pretty slow last night. Only thing I caught was a hammer fist to the side of my head when Justin pulled started the motor.

Sounds like a bell ringer..... what were you doing so close to get tagged like that.

Give it another week and the fishing will fire up.

Probably should've followed it up with a sleeper hold though huh?

[SteveD]

I hate it when that happens. You must have pi$$ed him off - he was going to use the electric start.

[rushing]

He has a 14 footer with a pull start 25 and we were getting ready to call it a night. So I was leaning over getting my rod out the middle rod holder and bam! I hope I didn't hurt him.

[Scott K]

Well I finally got a flat tonight, it was a small one, but it was a flat!

[jasoncap]

how big? what was working for you?

[Scott K]

It was about 8 pounds, I didnt bother measuring, or weighing it. I pulled up to the spot, threw anchor, put a bullhead on my hook, a good 7 inch bullhead at about 630pm, casted it out into a drop off where a creek drains into, and within 1 minute of it hitting the water, fish on. I didnt even have my net out yet. I thought, this is going to be great, the bite finally turned on, and I was here for it. Then I didnt get a bite for the rest of the night.

I only fished til 9:30, for a couple different reasons. The time out before this time, my spot light died, had a broken wire, and I didnt fix it until I was on the water last night, and didnt know forsure if it was going to work. Also, when I left the landing, my boat didnt start very easy, and ran weird. Maybe water in the gas? IDK. But I didnt want to be stranded on the water at night, by myself, with a spot light that may, or may not work, and a boat, that may or may not start. So I left with a little day light left, and had no issues.
