Norm M Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 37,800 cfs and rising, more rain forecast . I combined a couple set lines with casting for smallmouth today, both produced in this turbid mess. I targeted two breaks in the flooded shoreline cover that allow access to the flooded grassy areas teeming with worms. I used crawlers in one spot and stink bait in the other. It didn't take long to switch both to crawlers. Catfish, carp and freshwater drum were interested in eating the worms. Why not, plentiful and easy to catch. I started with a tandem spin with a twister trailer, worked ok . I switched to weighted keeper hook with a paddle tail fluke rigged sideways, worked much better. Smallmouth off flooded picnic tables, grills and parking blocks. Smallmouth off trees, weed beds and debris piles stay on shore, no need to even think about getting in the water . what a long strange trip it's been , put a dip in your hip, a glide in your stride and come on to the mother ship , the learning never ends
Johnsfolly Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Did you catch any fishing around the swing sets or sliding boards. Sounds like a good time to fish unnatural habitats.

No. they have those on higher ground but I'd fish them if they were flooded. what a long strange trip it's been , put a dip in your hip, a glide in your stride and come on to the mother ship , the learning never ends
