Carp-fisher Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 When do the flatheads typically shut down around these parts? Late September? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTro Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks for the reminder I can tell you this, I'm getting the most out of this season though. It feels like a full one has passed already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowhand Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 I usually hang the rods up for the season when the cottonwoods start droppn leaves. That might be pushing it further than others, but I dont waterfowl hunt so I try and squeeze as much out of the season as I can. I suppose going off water temp would be a more technical method.

DTro Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 For me, the Sturgeon season interrupts a fair portion of the fall flathead bite, then before you know it, I'm bouncing jigs again until the river is solid and then on to drilling holes again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowhand Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks for the reminder I can tell you this, I'm getting the most out of this season though. It feels like a full one has passed already Thanks for rubbn it in; three times out in July, that aint enough and its showing in my demeanor. Good for you for making the most of it....jealously can be a strong emotion . Your onto something there with the 'eye bite taking the edge off .

MinnesnowtaWild Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Let me tell you guys, it's been a great year for me! I made sure to put my time and went out earlier than everyone else and found the fish. Now that I am moved away from the river, it is very depressing but I know that I had one heck of a season in Kato this spring and summer. I will still be hitting the river occasionally when I can but it won't be like before when it was 3-4 times a week.And for when I hang up the Cat rods...usually once it is too unbearably cold outside is when I call it quits. Last year I fished through most of October and then was done. This year I'll be doing some small game hunting so may not hit it hard in October like last year.

Slowhand Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yeah hats off to you and Nutter this year for vanguarding the Flat season on the Minn this spring. You guys were out there early/often pushing the season forward maybe getting some of us old turds out in the cold earlier than what we really wanted to. .

Slowhand Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Here i thought our ice breaking was the inspiration Was there even a fishing pole in the boat? That seemed more Nitro Circus than Tony Dean Outdoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesnowtaWild Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 It got the river junky juices flowing that's for sure...just wish I had a boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
