Title: A New "Sexy" Flatside
Post by: Cheetam on July 19, 2011, 10:45:31 PM
Here's one from a batch of flatsides I just finished up.  Nothing too crazy for the paint.  I decided to keep it simple and sexy.  These will get down 5-7 feet, and have a nice wide wobble to them.  Hopefully I'll get them wet sometime next week  ;D

Thanks.  I'm using extruded PVC for these, so you don't need to do thru wire.

This one didn't catch anything.  It wasn't going deep enough.  For the cranking fish they wanted the bait digging bottom in 8-10 feet or so.  I think there were three 9+ lb bags that came in.  Terry and I had 8+.  We had 7 fish in the well, and every single one of them was between 2lbs 11 oz and 2 lbs 13 oz.  It was a good night, we just couldn't get that one solid kicker.

Just ordered a culling beam! It was ridiculous how long it took us to cull to get to our 3. Two digital scales and 20 minutes of comparison.
The sexy was the color, just needed to dig a little deeper for the crank bite.
