Ray R Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hey Diver, that's a really good haul, I'm an SP convert as well, shame about your big flattie, I love the way they slam the plastics, I've found that also where the plastics outfish bait easily, what gear are you using , would be interesting to compare.. Congrats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngy555 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Hey diver, were you fishing the lake or the channel, i fished in the lake this morning with no result. Good to seee there is flathead to be caught with these cooler water temps. Fished hexham dropover this sfternoon and the water was 11 degrees, i knew the fish would be hard to fire up and they were, caught nothing. Any info on where your pickin up the flats in the lake would be tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
