[cool][#0000ff]Good you posted that. I was not advocating that anybody violate the law. Just stating that live bait works best...where legal. Idaho (my home state) is like Utah (my current residence) in that they do not allow the use of live bait. But I have fished all over the country and MOST states DO allow live bait...even bluegills, sunfish and other "game" fish. And wherever you can soak a wiggly live bait for flatheads you will do better.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]That being said, I caught a lot of flatties in Arizona on "sweetened" jigs being fished for other species. Also more than a few on bass plastics and cranks. And I also had a good fishing buddy who landed a flathead over 40# on a big zonker fly he was fishing for bass on a flyrod. That took a while.[/#0000ff]
