Got some questions for the pros. I am a newbie and have yet to land a flat head this year. I have been out the last three nights. I am using bluegill for bait can’t find a place to get bullhead.The first night I had one run the bait clicker out I engaged the reel let the line tighten up and set the hook had him on for a few seconds then gone. Mon night got the poles out 9pm 9:30 first hit ran bait clicker out engaged reel let line tighten and set the hook, felt like a good one. Got him all the way to the boat 10 fow and when I tried to lift him off the bottom the hook pulled out darn!! Last night the one hit I had, took the line under the boat and in the dark thought the line was down stream and when I set the hook the line was cut on the corner of the boat darn!! Most of my hits have come in the first hour, after the moon comes out it is dead. Is full moon a bad time to fish.
