FLATHEAD weekend!!!

[FASTEDDIE29]

Hit the river with Andre and friend Friday night for a little fishing. Andre made an entrance as always taking a fall into the water as soon as he got down to the spot, lol! Its all good buddy, perfect night for a swim anyway. Myself, Andre and Alex had a few solid run offs but not much was landed. I did manage 1 Invasive Flathead during the daylight hours weighing 5-6 lbs.


Saturday, took the day off from fishing to do some much needed stuff around the house. No pics of that crap, lol!

Sunday, woke up early to go make bait and managed to put 20 Blue Gills in my bucket in around 30 minutes. Headed out to the spot earlier than planned knowing Andre and Alex were there. I get to the spot around 230 and its complete mayhem with picnics and BBQ's as far as the eye can see. There had to be 100 people hanging out within 1/2 a square mile. 5 wave runners, hot dogs, bathers, tanners and a group of guys climbing a 30 foot tree to dive into a 10 foot deep hole. No fish would be caught with the water all churned up. Andre and Alex leave. The massive groups of picnickers leave. Shortly after, around 7 pm I got railed by a Flattie. Fish was fighting very aggressively. I got her in after a short battle. First Flathead of the night went 9 Lbs 1 oz. YEA BUDDY!!! Land another smaller Flathead around 3-4 lbs 10 minutes later. Those would be the only fish of the evening for me. All in all a fun weekend on the river with some crazy people. TIGHT LINEZ!!!

Andre, you wouldn't believe how fast the crowds cleared out. It was like someone waved there magic wand and made everyone disappear. I was the only guy out there last night. It got real quiet on the river. As soon as the water settled down the fish started to eat. Crazy place man!

That's awesome.

If Fish & Game actually succeeds in extirpating Flatheads from the river, I think you're going to miss them.
