Hard to beat an Appaloosa cat for catfish nuggets! That sounds like a good spot and a good time.That flat head I posted this morning, I caught while bass fishing at the bottom of a spillway with an old school little George. Wild getting it in with 12 lb test. He was cleaned and eaten. That flathead meat, at least around here, is white, a little dryer and flakey. Avoid the fat lines and they taste great. Like you said though, I understand eating too many of them. We got a little private stream that the property owners give us access to, set about 2 dozen bank lines and oar up stream for a couple J's and split a 12 pack between 3 people, float back down and usually one trip is enough for a decent fish fry. Small blue gill and bullfrogs for bait.
What you using for the Blues in your area if I may ask?
Flathead are funny ... We used to catch em at night on spinnerbaits haha. Really cool you got em on a little George. He was looking for a minnow. Haha.
Depending on what river or lake I'm fishing I use shad or skipjack herring. If I go South to fish I almost exclusively use skipjack. Very oily, and bloody. They don't pass it up often.
