Flathead and anglers have a lot in common.
Flathead also show a similar liking to a wide range of lures and are prominent around tourist areas.
The beginning of an angler's career can usually be attributed to the humble flathead. To kids, the most beautiful thing to come out of the water is their first fish, that is often as not a flathead, lizard, or whatever you like to call them. And even as we grow older we still find the simple pleasure of flathead fishing, so with this in mind let us focus a little closer on this ubiquitous species. Just by looking at a flathead, a lot can be learnt. Its flat profile, large mouth and small tail, all point to a fish which prefers to hide on the bottom and ambush its prey.
