Lake Wylie

Trying to locate fish trolling with the Berkley flicker shad. Caught this little guy.

Threw on a berkley jointed flicker shad to troll back to the boat ramp. Caught this big fat crappie on the way back.

I was way offshore when I caught this. My Garmin striker 4 was showing some fish that looked like they could be bass about 20 feet down. I started throwing the flutter spoon around and letting it fall. Had 2 bites that didn't get the hooks. The third bite got it good. I didn't have a stinger hook tied on. Just the one treble on the back of the bait. If I did I think I could have landed more. First time fishing a flutter spoon. Just clipped it on to a crankbait snap on my crankbait rod. Next time I'll have one pre-rigged with a stinger hook.

Had a very tough day on the water. Made hundreds of casts. Tried just about everything but a lipless crankbait. Talked to another fisherman on the water that said they seemed to be biting a lipless crankbait today. Put one on and literally caught one on the first cast. Definitely not a trophy, but better than getting skunked.
