Flathead Catfish Photo Gallery

Not fair. Carp have been my only catches as of late. I want flathead, but my time schedule has other plans ... any size WW?

[Scott K]

I had two smaller flats caught out of my boat yesterday, and 1 tonight 38x22, with several missed, one big one lost in a snag The water in the backwater was 58, main channel was 54.5 today.

[nsnutter]

Hmm 4WE I hate you as well haha jk man, sounds like a few boated flats is success nowaday with the water temps the way they are ...

[Scott K]

I didnt say I caught any of them, just my passengers. I am a much better guide, then fishermen I guess.

Here is the one my wife caught. She said these pants are now her lucky cat fishing pants.

Did the water clean up at all Scott, or still lots of cabbage?

One channel that went 26x15 and a flatty that went 35.5x23...so nothing too big but definitely fun...my buddy caught the flathead and it was really dark grey and we thought he had another pig channel...

Yeah, I am catching carp approaching the 17-19 lb mark on ultralight gear as a side hobby, and I am incredibly jealous of the flats being boated, even though some of my carp may have more mass ... am I crazy? I think not, I guess I'm just a cat guy by nature!!

There is still a lot of debris in the water, including large floaters. Although the water clarity has improved in the main channel, the creek water is still very silty.

Alagnak and I were out Friday night and we saw a massive log jam floating downriver. It was probably about 30x30 yards with many, many trees and branches packed together. I think the bulk of it ended up snagged on the Shakopee bridge.

Scott - That's great that you're wife goes fishing with you. I'm lucky that I have a lady that digs Catfishing. I get some flak for it, but I don't really care much. Nice fish!

WW. We were between st peter and kato. We only saw one boat all night. And that boat had three people in it.

Jeff, my wife does like to go, but not nearly as much as I do. Maybe a couple times a month. It is nice when she gets out with me, it gives us some quiet alone time, that we dont get at home with 3 kids. Danz, I was fishing down stream of St Peter on Friday night.

[Fishingdad77]

made it out last night, fished just up stream of the jordan bridge in the back corner . Had a few runs but nothing to show for them.

Nice flats 4W. Down on shore in St. Paul. Nothing yet and we are going to give it till dark. Water is down on Pool 2. No where's near flood stage. IMO it is getting close to summer stage in May. Crazy.

Nice Dan. Hey was it snowing out there? It's quite white.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Nice fish! I think I know that spot...

[Whisker Warrior]

Nice fish Dan!

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

The first thing that popped into my head was " that son of a female dog did it again." Then I had to sir come to the fact that you guys have less water so its easier to find them, thats all. J/K nice fish guys way to get on them.

[dan z]

Thanks Guys.

[nsnutter]

I'm with Jeff on this one, I think I may recognize the spot ... congrats on the fish man! There are some real brutes in your neck of the woods!

[mrklean]

nice lookin flats

[harvey lee]

Looks like a good night of fishing Dan.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Dan Z is definitely slaying the cats this Spring.

Kato seems to be a really good early season area, but that's just what I have seen.

[bobbymalone]

Can't believe I haven't even gotten out after the cats yet
