Hi, new to this site and the forum… and to flathead fishing. I’ve been fishing Pool 8 of the Mississippi all spring, and it’s been great. Caught a couple flathead, and now I’m hooked.
I’m planning on camping there this weekend to get some serious time on the water, focusing on flathead. Anybody have any advice for a beginner? From what I’ve been reading that fishing slows down during the spawn, is it worth even fishing if they are spawning, and should I change tactics? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
