Comments:

I went out tonight after work with two agendas; first I wanted to cut some tees out of a tributary of the Black and second I wanted to catch a flat head or two on the Black. I did get my trees cut, but in the process I took a quick bath. My cell phone and billfold got totally soaked, but fortunately both survived.
My second agenda failed on catching any flat heads, but I did catch one decent channel cat.

Observations:

Once again tonight I had to deal with the wind. The Black is rather low and the Mississippi River is on the rise and suppose to hit the ten foot mark within a week.
