id do anything to catch even 4 a night lolz but atm i cant night fish due to my trucks back tailight being out gotta find out how to fix a panel inside it so i have t leave the lake at 5 when its getting dark

i fish okatibbee lake and okatibbee creek iv been setting out bank poles and catching lots of great sized channel cats every single one iv taken was pregnant which is funny and alarms me i think i may be ruining he channel population due to me taking 6 females out that were pregnant now they didnt get t lay their eggs to re grow the population

tbh im a bit sick of channels and idc for blue cats i love flatheads though and i always heard about how the meats so much better so dying to try it for myself but i cant get one over 12 pounds i want a smaller one in the 5 range

you claim u caught them on the rocks i thought flatheads try to hold onto log jams not out int he rocks like channels and blues or is it that smaller flatheads have different mannerisms


edit..nvm i thought u said u caught them above the spillway in the lake on the dam yeah iv seen guys catching flatheads before on the rocks very close to the bank surprisenly enough but they were using live bait iv caught only half pound channels on worms though sadly at okatibbee Grenada is an amazing lake and has a surprisenly small spillway for tis lake size its almost the size of okatibbees and grenada is legit 100 times larger but i never fished the spillway when its high its usually low or at medium when iv fished it
