Tip of the Day
Zaldaingerous' bluegills-spawn pattern.
He used at T-Bend to finish 8th, a lot more at the link:
> "Day 2 I started flipping those popping bluegill in the [grass and pad] canopies. I was trying to find the deepest, darkest little holes and canopies, and I was catching a ton of fish. I was having to weed through all the 3-pounders."
> He looked for the heaviest matted vegetation he could find, kept the boat in 4 feet, was flipping in 2-3 feet, and 90% of the time the bite was on the initial fall.
> 1-oz Strike King Slither Rig (candy craw)
> 3/0 Hack Attack Flipping Hook – "Lots of time we use a 4/0 or 5/0 straight-shank hook when we're flipping heavy cover. The reason I wanted a smaller hook was that the hay grass was so thick that when I stuck a fish under there, if the hook point exited the mouth the grass got behind the barb and…there's nothing to hold the fish pegged. When I went to the smaller hook, the hook point would stick to the roof of the mouth and never penetrate through. After that adjustment I started landing more fish."
> Strike King Menace Twin Tail Grub (honey candy and candy craw) with tails colored chartreuse
> MegaBass Orochi XX 7' 9" medium heavy flipping rod – "Because it was just canopies – once you penetrate through the canopy it's just open water – you can use a softer flipping stick."
> 65-lb Seaguar braid
