FLATHEADS HOT ON TABLE ROCK

Trotlines baited with live bluegill are attracting some nice flatheads.  A neighbor told me he has been getting two or three nice catfish every morning when he checks his lines.  It's even nicer when he shares.  Yum - sweet meat.

According to our resident author and fishing expert, Tom Koob, the best black bass fishing has been with soft plastics in the 20 to 25 foot range.

Fish are still in many locations, and it pays to target secondary banks with cover, points and transition areas.  The good shoreline cover, with the lake as high as it is after all the rain last week, should get some attention from bass fishermen.

Trotlines are to be marked with the owner's name and address and checked at least once daily.  When no longer in use, they are to be removed so they don't become a hazard for people or wildlife.
