Comments:

John and his son had wanted to get out with me flat head fishing, and tonight was the night. Unfortunately the weather was very uncooperative. We had gotten chased off the water twice while catching our bait, and after the second time we never did get back out on the water to fish. That night it stormed from around 930 PM till around 8 AM on Sunday morning.
Our bait catching did not go too bad; we started out fishing in the Dresbach Bay just opposite the wall in the flooded bushes. We caught a few gills here and there and also a few white bass, but the best spot was the bay below the I90 Bridge on the Minnesota side.

Observations:

The water is pretty dingy and very high right now.
