[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 496091, member: 27803"] Can I ask what size mono for those big cats? I’d like to use some high vis mono if I have room on that 6500 for it. Ive been told all my life that flatheads only hunt at night but I’m hearing more and mora people that say they can get a bite in the day also finding out it doesn’t always have to be live bait. I’ve never river fished except from the bank. I live 5 minutes from the Colorado river but I’ve been warned it has a lot of shallow spots and rocks in this area. But I’ve seen some serious flatheads pictures. May neighbors teenage son has a friend who’s dad grew up here and has a few aluminum boats. Those boys are always tearing up props , lower units etc. I was going to get him to show me around but he tells me to get through the shallow spots you gotta run wide open which I understand the boat drafts less water but there’s some big rocks and timber in there and I don’t have extra boats. I’ve found a spot up stream to put in about 20-30 minutes from here where I walked the bank a ways on someone’s ranch and it looks like a completely different river there. Water looks good and vegetation along the banks. I’m going to take it easy and see how far up stream I can go while scouting spots to try on the way back. I’ll keep running w.o. On the lakes I know which the old 40 Yamaha likes it that way. Thanks again for replying. [/QUOTE]
