I saw a guy in a float tube...

Could have been?

I was in three different areas on the lake last night in my tube.

We were there between 6-ish and 7:30, left a little before sundown. The opposite jetty had a guy in a chair just watching a line. I was surprised how few people were out there. We hadn't been over there yet this summer, gave it a try, didn't get anything of note.

Some are so despirate to find area of railroad truck where some of us catch flathead after flathead.....

I tends to be very open about fishing info for flathead at BO whether forum or at BO. I give info on what I use or what to look for. Then if a person catch fish, I am very happy for him. But locations, I won't say much BECAUSE no single spot produce quality flathead day after day after day if you fish off the shore It all depends on various factors and season, too. That is why Daryl's info is so helpful....not info about where rather how fish behave.

I have seen TOO MANY who just sit one spot because 1) they saw/hear someone catch big fish once 2) they caught ONE big fish....and think they will catch again. I have seen TOO MANY wasted their gas $$ and time fishing same location and get skunked or catch only small fish this way....when fish are biting elsewhere Worst I saw in past years was a guy who actually printed out picture from forum and move around trying to match background with picture.

And please do remember this. There are lots of good information available at BO from other anglers. But there are also many info which is not true. Some claim fish much bigger than they were or as story passed by one from other, fish gets bigger and bigger. YOU have to have screening or filtration ability on information. Last month, I was fishing and this guy told me that he saw a guy caught >50lb flathead. I asked him if they weigh the fish, and guy says no. But he said it was a BIG fish. I finally asked him, how do you know it was >50lbs...then he said a guy who caught claimed. But I said...you saw the fish correct? how long was it....this guy told me it is about 30 inch and was BIG. The bottom line is....everyone has different standard on BIG fish...unfortunately, the term "big" can spread fast.

Sorry, this should not be in this thread....but too many are too busy to find location rather than fish nature or lake as a whole.

thats funny, the other day a guy said he caught a 92 lb. flathead that was 30 inches.....then i saw him go over and start talking to you....maybe it was the same guy? its funny how much of a commotion a 15 lb fish will make and how quickly it gets bigger. i learned my lesson the hard way at BO....ya gotta be hush, hush, wink, wink.
