Master_Chief Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: 58Lb Flathead Very nice flathead. Used to run a trot line on the Rappahanock several years ago and would pull some big gomers in. What a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Re: 58Lb Flathead [ QUOTE ] We use perch.........Just as big of ones as we can catch!! [/ QUOTE ] I like goldfish too. Perch are harder to tear away but ive had great, great luck on Goldfish. Also, how deep so you set them? We ususally set them very shallow to where their tails slap the water when they swim just a little. IT drives those big cats NUTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder why? Heck, I used to use bluegill for bait when I lived there. Use'em here, but it ain't illegal here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Re: 58Lb Flathead We can use bluegills. Just not goldfish. Not sure the reasoning behind that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
