Catching Flatheads on Trout Chunks and Live Sunfish

Fished the Schuylkill recently after a bit of rain, water had some color and flow and the flatheads were biting pretty well. Didnt catch any monsters but caught a good number of fish with the biggest being close to 24lbs. I caught 3 rainbow trout for bait while Tan brought a bucket of sunfish, the fish didnt have much preference. Hopefully there will be some more flathead vids in the near future, last year I didnt publish and flathead vids because the ion was pretty beat most trips, most of the season was drought conditions and the catfishing was poor. This year things seem to be a little better.\r
