fish4cats Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Ok, so a buddy and myself are heading down to Henderson tomorrow to do a little flathead fishing. I have not been on this stretch of river and am just looking more for pointers on the safety of this stretch... I am planning on heading upstream as I always do. Any hazards? We will run probably 3-4 miles and work our way back till well after dark.. Just tryin to be safe. Have a 16' V bottom boat.Also, how do you guys fish for and what kind of water do you look for to fish for bullheads for bait...Thanks in advance.

Scott K Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I will tell you that the water is getting pretty shallow in spots, and there are a lot of snags just under the water to watch for. It is still able to be done, just use extreme caution! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ec30_06 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Lots of logs just inches under the water right now in that stretch of river. It sounds like the landing will be busy today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushing Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 With a 16ft V it will be SLOW going with how low the water is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreal Deal Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 We need some rain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMR85 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 sounds like there could be some rain tonight and sunday night in the metro area. hope it acutally rains because the lakes around the metro are in bad shape. of course the rivers need it too. Problem is if we get a ton and the water rises quickly, it could shut down the fish activity for a little while. it's a good tradeoff at this point though.

mplspug Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I was talking about this with Steve D last night and it's concerning to see the levels at summer time norms. It makes me concerned for what we might see in August. Sorry, am I hijacking again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
