I've never caught a flathead or even seen one. I've caught somenice channels, bullheads and blues though. Chicken livers work good as well as night crawlers or cut up mussels if ya lived in Florida. Night fishing is the best for catfish. Her's a nice blue I caught on a white rooster tail.{30 someinches long and almost 12 pounds}The next day I got one much bigger on a shiner when bass fishing. In the back are my rabbit cages that produce great red worms.
