Comments:

Since I had gotten rained out on my last flat head fishing trip on Pool eight a little over a week ago I have been anxious to get back. The bait catching was once again relatively easy. The bluegills were quite active, although not concentrated in any one spot.
The first spot we fished was French slough and this is where we caught both of the flat heads. The second spot we went to was the East Channel, but the floating weeds continuously fouled our lines. We made a last ditch effort to fish French Slough during moon rise but the fish did not cooperate.

Observations:

The water is still very high and rising; it is also dirty with plenty of weed fouling our lines.
