Kayak Trip Report, Flint River
I gave the Flint River a try today putting in at the Turkey Springs Ramp off Cloud Cove Rd. I fished from the Ramp to the Tennessee River and back, but it was a tough day. Water is still rolling from the rain Christmas day and muddy with visibility of only about 6 to 8 inches and 52 degrees. I still scratched out 11 to keep and returned 6 larger fish. No pattern, the few that I got came off larger logs the fish were using as a current break. I'll give it another try in a week or so after the water gets down and cleans up.

Was the same at cotaco yesterday. It rained more than I realized. I didn’t adjust to the conditions near as well as you. Lol

Lots of 8-to-12-foot water with laydowns, let the current drop and clear a little and this place is loaded with Crappie. Today there were no baitfish schools and fish (mostly stripe) were scattered everywhere from a couple feet deep to just off the bottom in 20-feet of water. All of us have seen this happen when a creek gets blown out by rain. The fact that got a few means there's lots of Crappie in this area!

With the water rolling so good I would have figured the place would have been stacked with cats
The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along

I caught two channel cats and lost two more (I think). Several bass also in some pockets out of the current.

Forgot to mention, I'm still using the z-man baby ballerz jig bodies. The jig head (Z-Man Micro Finesse ShroomZ) only has a #4 hook, but I continue to get solid hook ups from little 4 inch Crappie up to the big boys without issue. I only have the Chartreuse heads in 1/30, 1/20, 1/15 & 1/10 but just ordered some of the Red heads. Bob D told me a few years ago that Red heads make all the difference sometimes. I've fallen in love with this setup, but as soon as it doesn't work, I'll probably tie on a Marabou jig again, LOL!
One of the differences for me is the numerous Gills I catch, including a handful every trip that's big enough to fillet. That pretty unusual on a soft plastic jig body in the winter and is a nice bonus.
