I am planning a trip to the river this weekend, as the weather is calling for 5 ft seas now. [

I know ahead of time the water is way up, and I would have a very slim chance of catching any live bait. I called the tackle store here in Florence to see if they had live bait, and they did of course. What tripped me out is that they sell goldfish for bait. [unimpressed] I've never heard of using goldfish for bait. From what the guy at the tackle store said, they are suppose to be the "hot bait" for catfish now. Personally, i've never seen anything that worked as good as a big crappie for a monster flathead. Have any of you guys heard of using goldfish for bait?
Oh, they are 6 dollars a dozen, which I thought was pretty good. They are something like 5 inches long or so, and he said they have a fat belly.
