I was down at the susky again on friday night. started around 4 in the afternoon and started fishing for channels. ended up getting a few decent runs but I was sleeping and didnt get em hooked up. finally hooked into a 11lbr and a 9lbrs. a t-storm worked its way through around 6ish. once it stopped I packed up and moved down stream to flathead land. I had a spot I scouted out via google maps and wanted to try it. with the water being 4ft above normal conditions I found a spot to setup in some backwater. pitched some live and cut bait out. ended up landing two flats. nothin big. kept one 7lbr for fillets. I went up to the truck and talked to another fella. he said come on over and finish off your bait. so I brought the bait and two poles over and finished off the rest of my bait while bs'n with a fellow angler. I have seen this fella a few times fishing last year and it was great to finally meet him. great guy all around.
one thing if you guys that catch flats they have a chunk of belly meat on them that is awesome. it wasn't fatty at all at least the 7lbr I filleted wasn't. that flathead tasted better then the 9lb channel I kept as well. hoping to pull a all weekender this weekend. fri, sat, and sun I'll be on the river. lookin for company friday night if anyone in the area wants to come out and fish.
