Bye bye haijun

haha... hey rocket you seen the water in the flint. i assume it rained yesterday. i was at work off of clinton and it looked like a nice day outside. when i got to new market and crossed the flint it looked to be 1-2 feet higher and milk chocolate. i hope it is under control come saturday

I hope so ... should be Ok if it doesn't rain any more

It'll drop 3 feet by this evening, hopefully clear up tomorrow

Yeah looks like it should drop to about 8.5 by Saturday. I hope so that is the water level we fished on the first pic I posted. We didn't catch as many as the second pic but we caught bigger fish

What are you fishing with (lure)?

beadle spin.... many different skirts on them. my brother was using a sliver and pink jig.

Well It's dropped almost 3ft. I went by Little Cove just now and it's beginning to soften up in color. If its green this time tomorrow we will be in luck

Good fishing and post more pics!

Well if the weather works out for us rocket and I will post some pics on saturday

I get so pumped up when I'm planning to fish the Flint ...

well looks like you really have a sweet setup with that lowrance. I am not that high tech

Heck yeah thats a sweet set up! wish i could join you guys! Ive been wantin to hit the creek, just havnt had the time. Only floated the flint a hand full of times, Usually hit the paint rock river. Good fishing!

Good luck out there

Poachy c'mon go with us, you can take one weekend off the tourneys can't ya?

yeah come on IHP... you can do it. BTW where do you put in and get out on the paint rock? My brother was wanting to give it a try next time he comes in and I have never been there.

Plenty of places.

I do a bunch of different floats but you must have 2 vehicles.
Back of estill fork, the bridge close to the church at bull run to henshaw crossing is a good float when the water is flowing, got to get out a bunch due to shallow water, but we have caught over 100 fish on that float. buddy caught a red eye that was dang close to the record, absolutely huge for a creek fish. prob 2.5 pounds.
there is also a place or 2 to put in on the other side on co rd 9 and float to henshaw crossing.

put in at henshaw and there is another bridge 3 miles down or so you can pull out of, or go all the way down to behind hollytree, there is a place you can park there to.

The little strip mall in paint rock on the side of hwy 72, there is a place were you can drive back in there, park at the gate. put in there and go to hwy 72 bridge.

72 bridge to butlers mill is by far my favorite float!! great scenery, plenty of places to pull over and eat a snack or drink a beer butlers mill is kinda hard to explain how to get there unless you just know were it is, very pretty place there on the river.

From butlers mill on is very slow moving water, usually stay off that stretch.

431 bridge all the way out is a blast to but it takes forever!! no pull out spots really either, but we got 30 acre down at clouds cove, and i usually paddle all the way down and pull out on my property, its 3 miles down river from the mouth of the paint rock, 1 mile up river from the flint.

Ive floated the paint rock a lot. love to catch the red eye

And would love to join you fellers on the flint, ill see if i cant make somethin happen

Excellent

awesome thanks for the spots man.... yeah see what you can work out we would love to have you. we need to set something up to fish the paint rock too.

I've duck hunted the Paint Rock but never fished it. In the 90's we would put in at Hwy 431, there was a launch on the east side there but that launch is gone now I believe
