After work fishing caught 3 from the bank. This one was the largest .. neko rigged crush city janitor fishing drop offs next to flats .. 6-8ft of water

So on alot of the lives/round tables i got asked what an above a shot is so here is a picture and a break down

I use a heavy dock skipping rod usually 7ft 7’6

65 pound braid (any decent flipping stick will work)

3/0 straight shank flipping hook tied palomer with the line back through just like a drop shot then I will take and put a bobber stop on the tag line end..

Next I usually use a 3/8 to a 3/4 oz bullet weight (Depending on depth/cover) .. and on the end I use a swivel tied on by a another palomer knot (so the weight will not come off and helps with line twist) then I let the weight rest on the swivel, run the bobber stop to the bottom of the weight to peg it..

I use this In areas where it is extremely heavy cover but I still want some finesse or when the bottom is muddy/gunk..

just a different approach to flipping heavy cover to keep bait suspended.. lure of choice is a Zman fatty z most of the time but experiment.. (works best in muddy to stained water)

Caught 22 fish today .. could not get on any big fish.. landed 2 21’s today one of them decided to leave the chat while I was taking a picture lol went over board.. and today was my first time breaking a 4/0 bkk flipping hook on a fish… hook snapped right in half.. hook set was solid with 65 lb braid when fish came out of the water thought it just spit the hook.. nope she brokeded ..

Brian Barde I need a rod!! Lol

Well I did a thing.. a friend of mine on the pro staff informed me they were looking for someone like me to join their prostaff with kayak fishing background so I applied and put in my credentials!! I wasn’t expecting much

The boys are making beds and the ladies are stacked up on trees right before the flats.. they are eating up..

Angry eyes.. Brian Latimer .. this fish has them googley eyes..

Appreciate the hospitality Ricky Taylor it was fun.. wish the fishing was better .. good job on keeping your composure while fishing with me.. you are the best culler there is!! And a damn fine netter.. we did good for two country boys who never left the boat ramp creek lol..

Had to get some rain gear for Sunday fishing with Ricky Taylor .. we are going to go fish the chickahominy.. I’ve never fished it but I’m going to let Ricky teach me the ways of a true fishing master.. it is his first tournament I believe so we gonna givem hell with Ned rigs and wacky worms lol!!!!

Todays morning bite was tough once water warmed up they got a little more active caught probably 10 or so but they were mostly under 17 inches ..
