Hey everyone, I wanted to let you all know that I have been having great luck with live goldfish for flatheads and blues. We pulled in 4 flatheads between 8 and 20 lbs, and a 24 lb blue, in an 8 hour period. It was great to actually catch something, the summer has been hot and dry in Indiana and it has made the fishing terrible. Good luck out there!
The local bait shop sells goldfish for $8 per pound. I try to get ones that are at least 4" long, and I always try to get a couple big ones ( up to 12"). Hook them through the eyes and give half of their tail a chop. I tried to buy goldfish at the pet section at wally world, but they wanted $4 each. That would make for an expensive fishing trip! Live creek chubs have been working well too!
