Snagging Reports And Plans For 2008

[Seth]

We hit all of our fish right as we started the pull and they were also on the bottom hook so they were hugging the bottom pretty close. The funny part was that we would target the fish that were flopping on the surface, but only hit one fish up high.

I'm not sure what depth we were fishing because we didn't bring the graph. If memory serves me right the water 20-30 foot deep where we hit them.

We never hit anything unless the fish were flopping on the surface though and they only seemed to do it every few hours or so.

sounds like u caught them when they were on the move. when they stop and rest, they hug the bottom so close its real hard to hit them with the hooks, also they can lay in shallow water to get out of the current, where we normally snag in the deeper channels. thanks, ill be going again this weekend. should have went today but thought it was going to rain.

We pounded the flats just below Ashercane Bottoms and only rolled one fish. Last year we pulled probably 90% of the fish we caught off those shallow flats in less than 10 foot of water. Some of the fish we actually threw onto the bank, drug the hooks into the water and hit them with the first yank. It wasn't like that this year though.
