So can you catch big flatheads in a 1-2 foot of water in some of this flooded brush? Phantom is only up a couple of feet, but there are a few area that have some flooded weeds. Just wondering how shallow to go for flatheads

I always fish medium heavy action ugly sticks and Abu 5500c reels, 20lb main lines, 50lb leaders, 3-5" live perch. One things is for sure, flathead fishing isn't for the fisherman who want fast action, but when you catch one it's a blast because theyre usually big, and they fight like a freight train.

Just wondering how shallow to go for flatheads Maybe at night. They'll roam the weed line picking off crappie or gills. Go fish the Hill cat boss always talked about. Dude caught 15-20 flatties every night out of that spot

I fish on conroe and I run a 6500 with 25lb and 18 inches of 30 lb leader with a 1 oz slip sinker on the mainline. 6/0 to 8/0 gamakatsu live bait hooks and either live bluegill or a small live carp 4 to 7 inches long but right after the spawn they will pick up cutbait more than usual.
