Caught my first mat flippn' bass at a new to me fishing spot, and it was one of those "nothing is biting and I'm paddeling in, but let me stop at this nice floating mat and flip my Structure Bug into it one last time". Supposedly this resivoir is tough to fish, why it is fondly known as "Skunksville" Resivoir instead of its real name Monksville Resivoir. I figured with the blue bird skies, and temp drop I wasn't gonna catch anything.

Good work.. its messy but theres bass in them there hills!

Caught on a PBJ Rage Tail Structure Bug, with a 3/4 Oz tungsten flippn' weight, both from Siebert, and a VMC HD flippn' hook.

nailed it right on the drop didnt it prob surprised ya

I like the way Monksville is set with the three different boat ramps to launch from, so you don't have to paddle a load trying to get back to shore. You can kind of stay in the vicinity of the ramp.

Yeah, after the first lift on the way down. Felt pressure, and swung for the fence. Almost fell in when I went to sit down to lip it. Left my seat on the lowest position instead of the raised setting which I have it set at when I'm standing.

congrats flipping and pitching is my favorite way to fish you can get into some hogs fishing the thick stuff

Sweet!

Congrats on the first.  Hopefully there'll be a bunch more to follow.
