ive been fishing different parts of the elm fork in dallas and i want to try catfishing on a few spots has anyone got a 30lb+ flathead on this part of the river? i dont want to know any spacial spots i just want to know if its likely or possible

a blue cat 25lb i have not seen a Flathead but they are picky eaters a lot of 4 or 5 lb channel cat

It is VERY POSSIBLE. There is a spot, now inaccessible from the bank, behind the DEA/FBI headquarters off 482. Guy used to run trotlines in that deep bend there, and to see him on any given afternoon, with a rope hanging off a tree limb, skinning and cutting into steaks, a 30-50 lb flathead or bigger, was no headline news. Once the Gov't got control of that property by the river, there is more electronic surveillance and gates than you can shake a stick at. If you can find a place to launch a jon boat, canoe or kayak, (Below California Crossing dam), you can probably still fish it or trotline it and your chances of getting one of those finned mini submarines might be pretty darn good. No doubt whatsoever they are in that river. Also behind the Equestrian Center at Las Colinas, if you can find a way in, you can fish for em. They are definitely there.

California Crossing dam is a little over fished i have a hard time getting 1lb cats out there

thank you i was going to start at California crossing but after driving up and down the area a few days ago i have a few spots above and below the damn i plan on trying and maybe try to fish the places yall mentioned thanks yall are awesome
