Kittannig,,what gives?

I've been fishing here on and off for years and only really did good on cats one year,,by good I mean pounded them one after the other not 4 or 5. The water was high and chocolate milk at the time too. I've fished there several times since then with the same conditions and normal conditions and I can't seem to figure that place out. Anyone else fish that place,,I usually go upstream from the bridge opposite the city. Any help?

Well channels mostly but I wouldn't mind trying the Flatheads a time or two. Am I in the wrong area?
It seems like everytime I go there I'll get one or two right off the bat then nothing at all. The rest of the river is unfamiliar to me, this is the only area I've ever put real time in.

I made the mistake of taking my boat out there last summer on a sunday to that Rosston launch, it was a zoo of people and not too many of them fishing really. So your saying to be on the park side of the river basicly upstream from the island up against the dam is worth trying? I'm surprised that there are Flatheads up there i've never heard of them being caught there, maybe they aren't very common.
 
thks for the info

Maybe the next time I get there I'll try that spot by the dam, probably from shore to start. If It seems ok I'll try the boat deal then.
 
Thks again for the info.

If your targeting big flats you got to use big gear & bait. I've been trying for big flats, for several years now using big creek chubs & suckers with no luck except the occasional small flathead now & then. Switched to live bluegills 5"-7" this year landed two 40" flats this month a 26.4# & a 33.14# within a week of each other and had three break me off using 50# spiderwire stelth. Best thing of all is patience, might only get 2-3 hits a night. Hope this helps.

Not lately. I figured its been gettin hammered. As far as the rig goes 7/0 circle hooks, 5 oz. bank sinkers slip rig I use a barrel swivel  with the sinker. Run the main line through one loop of the swivel, and  about a 6-8 inch peice of lighter line to the other loop then to the sinker and pinch a splitshot tho the main line approx 18-24" above the hook below the swivel. This way the fish dont feel the weight but when it does  get snaged you can break the sinker off and not lose the whole rig. With the 3-way swivel you lose the functions of the slip rig. I have my rods rigs up with a bobber  holding the line untill  a fish hits then the bobber falls of completely leaving my reels which I have the bails open in free spool, when the bobber falls off the fish can pull line out without feeling any resistance thus not spooking.
