Flathead Fishing In Heavy Structure
Ойын-сауық
July 2022, fishing on the lower White River in Eastern Arkansas. Heavy current and thick cover offered prime fishing habitat for Flathead catfish. Getting them out of the thick logs and pile ups proved to be a difficult task, but we caught up a bunch of dinner plate flatties.

I’m not sure there is an ideal size. It’s all in how they’re cleaned. But usually 3-12 lbs are what are the typical kept for eating.

@@BootTrackStories no not really, you hear that from people but blues and flatheads store their fat on the outside of the muscle which makes it easy to remove if you take time to do it. Most people are looking for a beautiful filet. We don’t eat filets from catfish. Every catfish has all red meat and fat removed and is cut into bite sized pieces. They all eat good. Channel cats are different….the excess fat is in the muscle which turns it yellow and is almost impossible to remove. Red meat and fat are what makes catfish taste muddy or fishy and is why many people do not like restaurant catfish

$3 for ice? That seems like a bit of a mark up. Do channel cats taste different than flatheads?
@RaisedOutdoors

Flatheads have flakier meat. The channels in that river are really fatty at times. Channel cats store fat differently than flatheads and blues. Their meat turns yellow with fat and it’s difficult to clean out and can have a strong taste. Not like that everywhere. Flathead and blue cats store a layer of fat on outside of meat that can be trimmed off easily

@@RaisedOutdoors Will Flat heads eat cut bait if it has been frozen? Im assuming they like it fresh. I run limb lines over here in South Georgia on the Flint river which makes lake Seminole. Im actually right at the mouth of the lake. BTW I run by these self serve ice machines that we have around here and pick up several of the 20 pound ice bags that people throw on the ground. I then take my time filling them from my fridge's ice maker and then put them in my stand up freezer for later.
