flathead fingerlings
He is right about flatheads eating bass and crappie. I had a pond with bass,
catfish, and crappie, and they were eating all the baby catfish. An old fisherman said that if he put in a flathead, he would eat all crappie and bass. He put in a 35 pounder over six years ago. The old fisherman was right, he ate all the bass and crappie. Plus he ate all the catfish and now is eating the carp. In all these years I haven't seen except once this summer when he came up and caught a 2 pound carp and took it. How much would you say he weighs now, six years later?? "Rodney" wrote in message ...

Moon I would bet they will be hard to find, as no one really wants flat heads in their farm pond, they are veracious feeders, and can wipe out the bream and bass populations in small impoundment's -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Boomerang Fishing Pro. , Straight Up Hooks , Straight Up Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |

If he has run out of food, he might be in trouble I would fish for him using a 2 to 5 lb bass for bait :-) -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Boomerang Fishing Pro. , Straight Up Hooks , Straight Up Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |

flathead fingerlings
I have no doubt you are correct about the eating habits of flatheads, what I
don't know is where to get some fingerlings. remove nospam from e-mail to send to me, I grow trees in aquariums like bonsai. I breed dwarf crayfish, great for planted community tanks. If you can get me a shovelnose sturgeon fingerling (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) no wild caught please, contact me |
