Kayak Trip Report, Flint River

I returned to the Flint River today putting in at Turkey Spring Launch off Cloud Cove Rd. Amazing what a few days will do. Visibility was great (about two feet) and the current was greatly reduced, water was 44 degrees. The fish were still deep, but agreeable. I kept a limit for New Years dinner tomorrow and returned 68 that would measure, mostly larger fish that were 12 to 13 inches but returned several slabs that were 14 to 16 inches. 50/50 mix of White and Black Crappie with endless shorts, bass, gills and stripe returned. I'm still using the Z-man jig body with fish 8 foot deep in 10 to 12 feet of water. Lots of activity on the river today with hunters early and fisherman once it warmed up. Only one other boat fishing for Crappie though, the rest were after Catfish or Bass.
