This was my second attempt at vertical jigging for flatheads. It didn't go as well as the first try. I hit another ledge where I had caught flatheads in the past and used cut skipjack for bait on my jig head. I probed around for over an hour with no bites before moving to the opposite side of the channel to fish a drop-off. Like in the previous video, I also had two suspended baits off the back of my kayak. These baits saved the day as I ended up catching several fish including a whopper of a blue cat. I was disappointed I wasn't able to get any fish on the jig but it was still a fun day of kayak catfishing on the Tennessee River.
