flattys are going crazy!

the river is chockers with flatties ATM. I must have spooked nearly 20 yesterday while walking the shallows on low tide. I was in knee deep water and the flatties were between me and the bank. also got some today and kept a 35cm model for lunch.

 just teach them to slowly

 just teach them to slowly wind, the way young kids wind a reel and rod is still a bit awkward anyways so that itself will impart the action? and use like a wriggle tail type grub, should be a winner,

only prob may be the green weed?
