Clayton, no problem. Glad you finally got into them in Coralville. Did you get any over 8lbs?

I was away for the weekend and didn't get home till Sunday at 5PM. It was hot and I was tired so I didn't follow through on my plan to get a line wet last night.

Dave,

The channel doesn't get much deeper than that till you go downriver a mile or so. It's deep just under the bridges though.

For some reason, it seems that flatheads don't like the moving bait. I've tried a fair amount of live bait trolling. It works okay, but the bait comes off too easy. If you're going to drag a live shad, make sure it's a big one.
