I'v always thought of blues and flat heads as big water fish.I'v caught very few biues but lots of flats out of the Mo. river .I'v never caught one in water less then maybe 10'.They alwas seemed to be in deeper cooler water.I would'nt know if theyed work in a pond but I can picture every other fish jumping on shore to escape there wraith.

I can't complain but some times I still do
