Niiiiicceeee guys! ham with the lake being high fish the outer edges of the trees on the dc flats. Caught 8 or so a day last time it was this high on crawler harnesses so if you actually targeted them I think you could pull more. Nothing over 10 or so inches though...

On a side note while I was being depressed at table rock thinking of walleye on bull shoals, I took it out on the flatheads with my 7 year old. We set two 10 hook lines and ended up with 19 fish all in between 7 and 20 pounds in 3 days. Flatties in the freezer, second favorite to walleye. his first trotlining adventure so it wasn't a loss to me. He got a kick out of it. Sorry for the hijack thread. I'll be driving down to compete for walleye with you guys next week.

I'm so tender hearted towards fish that its a wonder that I keep fish at all. I like flatheads too much to kill them. I guess I would kill channels and blues. Walleye get eaten all the time. Crappie get eaten most of the time. I would really rather keep LMB between 12-14 inches. Id rather release all my spotted bass. I will not keep a smallie. Period. Bream are too fishy tasting for me.

Dayhem Ham! Lol. Hope I didn't offend you. We eat the hell out of fish!

Last summer we shot a few decent channels and for some reason it was the nastiest fish i have ever eaten. I read somewhere that it could have been from them eating algae or somthing...Anybody have any clue?

Flatheads have a yellowish strip up along the back. I was taught, if you do not remove it, you get the taste of the bottom.

. Oh Man, Not at all. Like I said, I'm too tender hearted. Not like I'm starving though. If you wanted to do me a favor though, you could turn loose all your keeper smallies.

While it certainly is NOT illegal provided the fish meet the 18-inch minimum length limit and you are within the daily creel limit, absolutely nothing good can come of stringing up a bunch of walleye.

Just kidding. I could not resist taking a line from Champ about keeping spotted bass.

I'm trying to master summer walleye trolling but it is an art.

Nice bunch of walleye. I'm jealous.

Go back and re read the trolling article I wrote. You will notice I refer to trolling suspended walleye in tree tops. Channel edges. They usually wait until later in the summer, but fish can't read scripts.

RPS where can I find the article?

I've been using line counter reel and snap on 2oz weights to get down to 25fow.

I can use all the help I can get to improve my catching.

I did use leadcore but my kids complained about their arms hurting reeling in all the time!

It does seem depth precision for 20-25fow is a must for bait control and getting the rods to bounce with fish.

Thanks.
