I would find yourself some good bait...right where you are at is filled with green sunfish blue gills and shad. I saw lots of carp jumping so if you could find some smaller one that would be sweet...maybe throw some liver and crawlers today looking for bullheads too...and make sure you got an aerator and keep water cool so your bait stays lively. If ya need anything salt fork outdoors is always a neat stop to pass some time too....give me a call or text if have any questions man...hope ya have some good luck and have a good time this weekend!

that whole area is real good. so is the next one down. we were there on wednesday and had some good runs on warmaouth which you can get anywhere down there. jus drop a crawler or wax worm inbetween some rocks along the bait and you will get em

Ducky and I fished Salt Fork last night and were kept busy by channel cats till midnight as we tried to catch flathead. At daylight we had not had a flathead run and changed tactics. Ducky promptly hooked this flathead.  And we scramble to rerig for the different style of daylight flathead fishing. We caught a few more channel cats and Ducky missed a hookset on another flathead. I got a baitfish cut severely also with some teeth marks indicating it wasn't a target fish ;D PS Ducky isn't made of sugar cause it rained all night. |

The tactics were extreme for me. It takes a while to accept different styles but what we were doing wasn't working. Fishing water as shallow as 2 feet and drifting in daylight was a new tactic for me. We weren't sure at first so we didn't take a landing net. Lipping a flathead in daytime is less scary when I can see the hook. I tell guys when what you are doing isn't working try something else. Flathead behave differently in each waterway and change what they do throughout the year. Seems like right now they wanted warmer water and cruise in daylight in order to find it. I didn't catch a flathead but I did get to see one  We didn't get to choose when we could fish so we did what we could as water temps have dropped quite a bit the last 3 days or so. |

Yeah that's pretty strange...this year SF flatheads been acting pretty weird to me IMO...I know of three flatheads caught the same weekend as the one I caught...all were during the daylight and then no one caught em after nightfall....i know its still only mid may but that seemed pretty strange to me...but who knows maybe it was just coincidence?
