    With my catfishing taking a backseat to family time, I am way out of the loop. My brother is in town from Oregon and I want to get him out and break his virginity and try to scare up a flathead. Everts only has smaller than 4″ bullheads and small suckers. Being a MN guy I can’t use sunfish.

    What does a guy do? Any other pool 4 options? Any solid advise for now?

    Thanks guys!

    Call 4seasons and see what they have for suckers.I think its time for the huge suckers to shine.

    Catch some gills and fish the Wisconsin side of the river.

    That’s what I would do.

    If your launching out of Evert’s Mr. Fboy…might want ask Steve if he knows where to catch a few.

    Head down to the rock bar at Everts, slip bobber jig and crawler 2 ft down along shore. Bait galore

    Oh sorry-was I not supposed to disclose that P4 is loaded with panfish just about all over? Oops

    I would agree on whats been posted, large suckers, gills if you run the Wisconsin side,and I would also suggest that some of the boys fishing the Minnesota have been getting em on cut bait as of late. Good luck!

    People aren’t ‘spose to have fun!

    August has been traditionally a good large cut bait bite on the Ol’ Miss.

    When you going FBoy?

    Just got back in. Had a few nice channels early with the biggest about 28″. They both hit live bait, one on a sucker and another on a 6″ bully. Had a few runs we could not capitalize on, and one that popped out after a couple seconds.

    A beautiful night on the water even with no flats boated. I’m starting to remember why I like fishing for these dumb fish
