I would guess a flat will be caught in the next week.

Probably be May 2nd after the Cat league meeting.

[HotPocket]

I have been trying to fined Mr.Flat the last few days, but no go yet. That little cold front didnt help (and the wind). I see its going to get hot tho. But tomorrow im going to go see Dark and do some troutin. Good luck

Good luck troutin...I should be on your coat-tails after last nights outing. Hopefully by this weekend I'll be in front of you!

[Larry FlatCaster]

Drew.... That hog hole of yours is still producing eh....

I would have thought that thing would be milked dry with all the pounding it gets.

[Lowblazah]

I've been sitting down there solo lately...must be because there aint any fish there...

[MinnesnowtaWild]

I cannot get ANY Catfish AT ALL to bite. I would definitely have to say the bite is not on down in Kato. All I have caught this year are Sturgeon and Redhorse. Lately now that the water temp is 55 degrees I have been using cutbait and live bait instead of just crawlers with no luck at all.

I have seen Cats surfacing, just small ones, but I know they are out and about just not feeding yet.

Catching sturgies down there on the Minnesota? That's cool. Shovelnose or lakers? I saw a dead one floating by the Harriet island docks in St. Paul. Even though it was dead, I took it as a good sign that maybe the water quality might be improving enough that they spread more in Pool 2 and the Minnesota here by the cities.

Sounds like you just need to find a different spot.

If I were a bettin' man, someone is catching flatheads down there right now.

[mplspug]

Nevermind, I see they are shovelnose in the other thread with your pictures. The one I saw in St. Paul was a laker.

Your bet would be correct!

[MinnesnowtaWild]

No way!!! I have moved from great spot to great spot and NOTHING! But then again I haven't sat out there at night yet into the darkness with live bait.

I wish there were Lakers in the Minnesota, but we are stuck to just Shovelnose down here. I think back in the day there was a Sturgeon population in this river.

[DTro]

WWG and I finally stuck a hook in a couple of channels that were entry worthy.

I'm going to go out on a limb right now and say that one guy has already locked up a spot in the top five and it's not even May.

Biggest MN river channel cat I've ever seen!

[DTro]

So what comes first?

May?

or

1st Flathead?

[Scott K]

I would think the first flat will be caught this week.

[DTro]

Leaderboard update:

Hotpocket is running away in the channel division, who’s up for the challenge?

And finally the doughnut is gone on the Flathead side.

[nsnutter]

Chalk up another Flattie on the boards! Caught a MONSTROUS 26"x14" 'er tonight haha.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Haha enjoy the leaderboard while you can Nick because you won't see it after this! Just kiddin' buddy congrats but hopefully we can catch some big girls early May and put some points up.

Haha ain't that a fact brotha ... I have a feeling Darren will have more than just 8 points on me very soon ... but for the time being, I can just hit print screen and bask in the (temporary) glory of second place haha

Oh I forgot, this little Flat was pulled out on a 6/0 Gamakatsu Octo-Circle tipped with a nice fat chunk of Sucker. Anyone able to find Chub yet? I'll be darned if we can turn up any near Kato yet ...

Edit: Might as well throw a picture of that little flat on here ....

[Scott K]

I have had no luck getting bait yet this year either.

[DTro]

Plenty'O chubs, but the bullheads are being stubborn

[Shack]

Hey, the big 9000 Congrates Dtro.

Bullheads are running pretty strong up this way. I have about 40 for the bait tank to pick up after work, that where picked fresh yesterday.

Some nice suckers are running up this way now also Trying to see how long I can keep some big ones alive.
