Comments:
It was my first trip of the season for one of my favorite summer time bass haunts at Fountain City. The water was still high and quite dirty in some spots, but I did pretty good considering. The fish were not thick or very active everywhere, but I did pretty well.
Flat head fishing with Scott was not stellar, he caught one about eight pounds.
Observations:
The river is still in a state of decline, but I did notice that the weed growth up to Fountain City is not as thick as it normally is at this time of year.
