Saturday Night

[harvey lee]

I'am looking at going out of Jordan tommorrow night.Should I be fishing the shallower or deeper water for the flatheads?I will be in the boat using bullies.Any help would be great.

What has been working lately for me anyway is fishing shallower water adjacent to a deep hole idealy with lots of wood and snags. My thinking is that this extreme heat, lower water level, and spawning has moved the the flatheads away from their shallower staging areas and they are now staging near the deepest water possible. The wood and cover is giving them refuge to spawn. ANything 15' or deeper is what I would call deep right now, but near jordan I am not sure as I am not familiar with that stretch.

Am I wright? I think so, at least it would be working for me lately if not for a poor hooking percentage !!! Plenty of runs and definately fish, but I can't get that hook where I want it !!!!

Anyway GOOD LUCK!!!

I am also planning on going out of jordan or henderson sat. We have been doing good by fishing the core of the hole and then moving shallower after dark. Mostly smaller ones for us though.

Fished out of Jordan last night. Gorgeous night, no fish however. Fished the topside of a decently deep hole (18')/outside bend.

We didn't even get a run although a cutbait kept getting played with.

That stretch of river really gets me scratching my head. There is sooooo much wood, depth, and cover downstream from the launch that the flatties could be anywhere. Some of the really good looking snags have a lot of wood under the water in front of them as well. Its hard to get a bait out w/o snagging up and you'll really have a hard time getting a fish out of cover like that as well. (As evidenced by 2 missed/lost fish in a situation like this about 1 1/2 weeks ago.)

Good Luck!

Lost alot of gear last night. Caught about a 12lber and up stream from us chris and andy caught a 22lb & 25lb before the moon came up. They were getting snagged alot too and we were down river quite aways. One of their leader, hook, and bullheads got wrapped up on one of our lines down river! I can't even think of the odd of that happening!
