Comments

It was a short trip tonight out to Somners Chute. I caught one right away directly below the wing dam and then I never had another bite. Catching bait was once again a challenge. In fact I only caught four and after I caught the first flat head I made him give it back and it went back into the live well.

Observations:

It is the typical late summer pattern, low flows and inactive fish.
