From what I have read recently, there seems to be 3 ways to fish for catfish that would fit under "Bass fishing for Flatheads". The first way I mentioned above was the thumping method in which you add a large weight and vertically jig submerged structure. The second way to "Bass fish for Flatheads" is to use a float and live bait and slowly and methodically twitch it over and around structure. When I used to fish paylakes i had success with this method during sunrise and sunset periods. The idea is that when you twitch your bait it struggles harder to because it doesn't like being manipulated thus invoking bites. The third and last way to "Bass fish for Flatheads" is to simple tie on a deep diving crankbait or a large spoon and fish the main creek ledge where the flatheads will be holding.

Ive actually caught many small flats at pleasant hill while I was flippin for bass on a shallow rock shelf in the early evening, I assume they were there feeding on the bass that were on the nests ?
