Kayak Trip Report, Flint River (Hobbs Island)

I fished the Flint River today trying a few new things. The water was clear, 52 degrees and I was targeting gills with artificials. They weren't interested in spinners, just bass and strip biting so I kept changing baits until I happened on a 1/32oz jig head with a chartreuse Bobby Garland Itty Bitty. Game on at that point, I caught gills all over the place, a few small bass and strip and the occasional small Crappie. I ended the day with half a limit of large gills and 6 Crappie on a beautiful fall day. I love fishing the river once the recreational canoe and kayakers quit for the year.
