Started fishing around 8 this morning and stayed 'til 4. We boated over 30 LM with 7 keepers and had a couple break us off. The best five would have weighed in around 14lbs. All fish were caught on shakey heads and a carolina rigged fluke in water depths of 3-10". The water temp was 65-72. No pigs today, but it was a lot of fun.

That was the ticket. We were catching some small LM on the tiny flukes with a steady bite. The bigger ones were on the big flukes, but with a slower bite.

No need in trying this technique, it really doesn't work at all. Neither will a c-rig hollow belly swimbait on a light wire hook. Don't waste your time............won't work..... emoEvil

I'd go with a 18-36" monofilament leader. Try different plastics other than a fluke, if they won't hit it, or even a crankbait c-rigged.
