As part of a charity event put on my good friends from Greensboro, I went and joined them for some prefishing on Friday. A dear friend Mike, whose a heckuva a fisherman, tried to teach me some flippin. Never did it before and it showed! He really had us on them, I just couldn't figure out to feel the bite. Flippin in that thick stuff is tough, but I'll keep trying. With heavy, heavy boat pressure (one on every point) we went to the back of Nutbush and he wore them out flippin right in the middle of some of the thickest bushes he could find. It was some nasty stuff! Started with bushes in six inches to two feet, but as the day went on the fish moved out to bushes in 4 to 8 feet. Big lizards gave up 14 fish for Mike, who landed a 5.5, 4, and a bunch of 1-2 lbers. It was amazing to watch him rip them out of the bushes. Didn't see any spawners and all that he caught were either buck bass or spawned out females. A couple on spinners as well for about 14 for the day. Real good with all the boats we saw. Saturday, the day of the event, the bush bite turned off with the clouds and rain. Spinner gave up a couple. A great two days of fishing! And I'll keep practicing that flippin and try to figure it out. Thanks for the lesson Mike and the wonderful day of fishing. Tight lines and let em' all go.
