Comments

The bait gathering in the channel behind the house has basically come to an end, so tonight we looked to the man- made islands for our bait. We caught plenty of bait, but it was by no means a slam dunk. One island held fish in on the back side in the slack water and then the far south island held fish on the front side.

Observations

The mosquito population is over loaded. The channel catfish are very dark grey right now, which is an indicator that they are spawning. The flat heads do not yet have the tell-tale abrasions on the head and tail that would indicate that they are spawning.
