Chasing Them Flatheads

[@prosystemssupply]

Living in the Dallas/Ft Worth area of Texas, we don't really have any good rivers to fish. We're still waiting on our lake water temps to get down out of the eighties. I've been able to fish the Tennessee River a couple of times and I miss it! Great video Micka! I love the seeing the joy you get out of each and every fish you catch. It's always a great way to start my morning! Flatheads are so much fun to catch.

Brother you've got a lot more water to fish than we do here in West Texas! Good luck and God bless y'all!!

Very Nice! "Why is the line over there?" Been there, cool! Amazing stud flatheads dude. You got me wanting to target flatties. You're getting close to TN record flatty man, how cool would that be! Over here on WB, Water is moving, debris everywhere, chocolate milk, and definitely in fall transition. Highly scattered, catch as many deep as you do on the flats. Cmon cooler water.

Great video Micka. I'm down at Wheeler and went to the ramp on Friday to check out the river and there was so much trash and logs in the River from Helene runoff that we cancelled our Saturday trip, just not worth a lower unit 😢 They have since dropped the Dam release down to 80k cfs and lowered the river by 3' so hopefully we can get out this week.

Have you ever tried fishing where all that bait is?

[@mickaburkhart14]

I have with very mixed results. Usually end up getting into a bunch of little fish. Due to it being shallow water. Now bait like that over deeper water is a really good area to hit.

[@thefishingwolf6811]

Awesome flat heads! Not trying to be a jerk but you have 4 of your rods out, with 2 on each side. ( If I'm seeing right). Anyway seems to me that you have the odds in your favor for the fish to hit those rods. Hope that makes sense.

[@KennethGong-s2t]

You could have a million rods out, but if you’re in the wrong spot, or you have poor boat control, you won’t do well. Having more rods out also means more snags and crossed lines to deal with.

[@thefishingwolf6811]

@@KennethGong-s2t I’m talking to micka about him saying which rod the fish keep hitting, not about catching fish in general.
