I'm sure glad you took up video taping your adventures Pat, sure do enjoy them and they add a whole new element to your post. Those three colors of fligs, pink and orange tigers and the blue and silver, are the same ones we have been having our best success as well. I might have missed it but how deep was the water in the marina, before you got to the channel?

Over 3' at the end of the far north ramp where I launched.  Possibly deeper at one or two of the others.  And I was marking between 3-4 feet all the way to the main channel.  Had some 12-13 feet of depth in the channel going out.  But  didn't see much in the way of fishy marks inside.  However, the water was pretty stained from the runoff coming in. 



The guys launching or bringing in boats didn't seem to show much concern or have any trouble pulling their boats up to the docks.  I'm guessing their sonar showed plenty of depth...at least for the "average" boat. 



Thanks for the approval rating on the videos.  I enjoy making them and try to bring in some useable info besides just fighting fish.  Got plans to do a separate video on catfish...from hook to pan...and one on all of the pimping and modifications I have on my float tube.  Have been getting some requests along those lines.  Nasty work, but I guess someone has to do it. 



By the way, I am working on a whole new line of whirly fligs...using small buzz bait blades to create more flutter and noise.  Doubt they will be very effective until the water warms up and the fish get more active.  But I'm betting they will get some fishy votes.  And you can also use those noisy little blades to make crawler harnesses.  Some guys in the midwest have already been doing that.  Those blades are made for noisy topwater presentations.  They spin with even the slightest motion and really send out the vibrations
