Fishing Lincoln Beach 4/2 to 4/10

[TubeDude]

Pat, I hadn't seen that write up yet, it's really good like all your other ones... Thanks for sharing that, I've been hearing a lot about the Flaits and Santee rigs and wasn't sure what they were either...  Tell you what those Kong fligs are dynamite for me this year, I've started casting them and slow reeling them in and man when those fish grab it, their already on fire... Really makes a fun fish to catch... I need to take my toon out and troll the fligs, but I never get long enough to be worth the set up launch time, so I'm stuck on shore, but the fligs still work well from there... My best fish so far came on the fire tiger kong flig... I drove that monster (like 8 aught) hook right through it's nose so it wasn't coming off..  I'm liking the purple perch flig too... Both seem to be catching fish and floating my big baits in the right zone...  I just wish I knew how to tell where the fish were going to be on any given night?  When they are around, it's a lot of fun, but I've spent too many blank nights when nothing showed up...  So how do those submarine hunting sonars from the planes work?  I want one adapted to find fish in the same way at an affordable price... hook it up to a drone and show me where to fish...  Is that too much to ask for?  Anyway thanks Pat... Later Jeff

I think the plane sonars work more for locating large metallic objects...not small squishy smelly objects, like fish.  I think most anglers have fantasized about having X-ray vision...no just for looking through clothes, but for finding fish too.  But then if you could instantly find the fish...without the thrill of the hunt...fishing would just be ho-hum.  Right?  NOT.

Glad the kongs are producing for you.  I have been having good success on a new line of "Big Red" gorilla fligs...made on some big 5/0 red jig hooks I scored.  Last ones in the USA after Matzuo moved out.  They are what I have caught all my best fish on so far this year.  And I have started adding some blades on some.  That's what got my 28 incher. Here's a pic.
