Comments:
The water temperatures are on the way up and along with the temperatures going up the aggressiveness of the flat heads and channel cats are increasing. Last night was a very successful night fishing for flat heads and channel cats. The evening started out with catching bait for the night, and I had a problem with catching too big of bluegills. The area I was catching the bluegills in had a water temperature of 71˚ and they were in the spawn mode. Early in the flat head fishing season I like bluegills around the five to seven inch range, but tonight they were all between seven and one half to eight and one half inches.
I fished for the flat heads for a couple of hours and caught four channel cats between five and nine pounds and one very healthy thirty six pound flat head. The big fish hit an eight inch bluegill with gusto and there was no doubt from the hit, to bringing it boat side that it was a nice sized fish!
Observations:
The water is starting to drop and it is now very clear, but fast.
