Left the house at 5am got there at around 7:30am, hit up a few spots hoping to land a few channels, but no luck. We fished a few spots, spending about an hour to an hour and half at each spot using shrimp, but skunked out. At about 11:30am we gave up channel hunting and headed out to a few spots for bait. The bluegills seem to be in deep waters this time of the year so after an hour with no hits on a bobber, we switched to a drop shot rig using nightcrawlers and the action started. In all we landed a total of about 8 or 9 hand sized bluegills and a few small largemouth bass's. Left and headed out to B&B baitshop for some goldfish, we bought a dozen of them and headed out to our spot. When we got to our secret fishing hole, it was still hot as hell out so we decided to drive out to the main river to cool off. We spent about an hour in the water and left to set things up. We didn't get our poles in the water until around 8pm. An hour later I had my first bite of the night. I landed a really nice sized flathead, Im guessing around 35-40lbs??? 3-4 hours go by and I land two more, Im guessing 3-4lber and 8-10lber, and 1 turtle. We ran out of bait so we threw in the towel. We left Blythe at around 2am and got home at around 4:30am. I was pretty disappointed because we ran out of bait. I was pretty certain that I was going to land a monster that night. Oh well maybe next time.
All the fishes caught were on goldfish. All of the gills we caught died so we didn't use them but took all of our catches home except for the turtle of course.
Tackle used:
2 Quantum 9' Catfish combo rod w/ Berkley Big Game 50lb test line w/ 3/0 (i think) gamakatsu hook - carolina rig
Tip:
If any of you are planning to make a trip out there, buy your goldfish's from your local pet shops. The goldfish's we bought from B&B were only the size of large feeders from pet shops. I'm not sure if it's under new management or if they just had a bad shipment, but the lady wanted to charge us more for less goldfish if we wanted the bigger ones. They wanted $12 for a dozen, which you can buy these same sized ones, 6 for $1.00 at your local pet shop.
All the goldfishes we bought from b&b got away because their small size. We kept all of our bait in those cages you leave in the water. Luckily I also brought some nice sized 4-5 inch goldfishes from home so that was all we had for the night. Anyways on to the picture.

That is the only picture. I didn't get pictures of the other catches because my brother kept them. Enjoy and tight lines.
Any questions feel free to ask.
