[quote castnshoot][quote Ahi1953]yes some flatheads would be nice. But we would need to change our live bait laws. I guess you could try artificial.[/quote].
Some times live bait is the best bait, but other times it is ‘not’ needed for Flathead.
About half of those Flathead were caught on night crawlers, and it is not uncommon to catch them on a lure.
My 90 year old Dad caught a dozen nice ones the other evening. on night crawlers. He never goes through the hassle of catching Blugill or Carp any more. But he would tell you a live bait is the ticket for sure.
It was a friend of his that put the Flatheads in the lower Colorado back in the late 60s or early 70s.
Here is Dad with a 50 pounder.
