yes they do. I would say the bulk....prolly around 70% of my catch are blues with the remainder being channels. I have yet to catch a single flathead in 6 yrs. So far my biggest has been 15 lbs....2-3 of them all on jugs. If I catch anything bigger, I'll be chasing them for a while. My noodles will hold anything up to about 8 lbs pretty decent. Anything over and I got to chase them down after they go under on me a couple times. And that's ok b/c it only adds to the excitement.

I just found out my kids are out of school next week so me and my boy will hit it at least 3 times next week. Gonna try out the "Hump" and maybe still between Chowning and Van Buren. I'm also still looking at the map and may try the big bend on it for the first time.
