Flathead Catfish
For flathead catfish enthusiasts, the waters near Blue Eye, Arkansas, offer some promising opportunities. Bull Shoals Lake is a prime location, known for harboring large flatheads that lurk in the lake's many submerged timber stands and rocky ledges. These nocturnal predators are most active during the warmer months, particularly from late spring through early fall. Live bait is the key to success when targeting flatheads. Bluegill, sunfish, or small bullheads are all excellent choices. A local tip is to fish near areas with current, such as creek mouths or river channels entering the lake. These areas often concentrate baitfish and, consequently, flatheads. Be sure to use heavy tackle, as flatheads are incredibly strong and can easily break lighter lines. Also, consider fishing at night, as this is when flatheads are most active and willing to feed. Bull Shoals flatheads can reach impressive sizes, so prepare for a memorable battle.
