Trolling for East Fork hybrids

[Mean Morone]

Went to EF yesterday with my buddy. We trolled deep diving Gizz 3's and Gizz 4's. Fishing was tough because of high pressure, but we were able to trigger a few strikes. We caught 7 or 8 hybrids from dinks to two that were 2 lb and one just shy of 5 lbs. All but one were caught on the Gizz 3. We tried getting on top of a school and using Flitterbaits but could only come up with a couple of crappies.

I hit it today. It was kind of tough. Got one early on an umbrella rig about 5 lbs, another on live shad about the same size. Couple more that were less than two pounds and skinny on shad. I kept marking some deep and tried a silver buddy but it just doesn't compare to a flitterbait.

One of the smaller hybrids I caught was very skinny also. I hope it is just a fluke, but it does bother me to see fish in that kind of shape. We used a Flitterbait a little and caught two crappie. One was caught on the big Flitterbait and was just a little bigger than the bait. I cant wait to use the big Flitterbait on Lake Cumberland this fall. I can't wait till the big Flitterbait is ready.
