What bait(s) are you using to pitch and flip now? Soft plastics? Jigs? Something else?
Will it change as spring turns to summer?
Just curious. I like to pitch and flip (the motion), but I don't get good results.

75% of the time, a baby brush hog in a watermelon or green pumpkin will catch you a fish pitching to logs and laydowns. It's probably the #1 confidence bait in anglers all over the country. Jigs can be difficult, but I would play around with trailers more than actual jigs.

Biffle bugs...year round. I catch at least 75% of my fish flipping.

Not a lot of jig flippin here either. Usually always some form of creature bait first and then I will experiment some with other plastics if it's not working.

Pegged Missile D-Bomb for me, but i'll have to admit, lately I've been doing pretty well with Swindle's 3/8 Ball Head Jig.

Rage Craw or Speed Craw mostly. If I'm on a lake that is predominantly dock pitching, I'm pitching a jig. Love a 3/8 or 1/2 Hack Attack jig in some sort of Green Pumkin

Speed craw
Nothing like a jig bite but I just don't get bit on them as much so I stick with the craw 95% of the time.
If you can't find em wind em.
