Default Missouri River Cats

Fished the Missouri River at midday. I was using cut drum for bait. I was fishing along some riprap.

I didn't weigh or measure this channel. I'm guessing 5-6 lbs.

This flathead was 36" long and weighed 16 lbs.

Can someone point me in the general direction to get some decent cats from the Missouri River, No need for honey holes just a general area that is accessible from the bank. I would like to get into some good cats before the summer is over.

Thanks in advance
