Fishing for flatheads was probably this last prespawn fishing off the dam here in town. The bite was nothing short of fabulous with our total catch going around 150 lbs. for that 6 hr. period with the biggest being about 32 lbs. that Tim my friend caught. For 6 hrs it was one after another missing the runs and hooking the others.
All the guys on the dam were hooking into big flatheads and the guy next to us hooked and brought in a 42 pounder that we weighed just after he caught it. In the next few days we hooked, as did others, into alot of big flatheads because they were on fire. It was one for the record books because usually the score for everybody on the bridge isn’t as many every year, its good every year but not like it was this last spring.
Channel catfishing is good every year with large catches but as far as flatheads go it was really good this last prespawn. A few guys I talked to said they thought it was the amount of high water we had befor the spawn that brought them up river where they were stopped by the dam.
