Comments:

It was my second flat head fishing trip with Rob. I took him last year below the Dresbach Dam and we did pretty well. Tonight we did okay. We fished two spots and caught two smaller flat heads. We caught the gills out on the man-made islands and the flat heads came from side channels just off the main channel. We did have several other bites, but they were not too serious about devouring our bluegills.

Observations:

The conditions this evening were just perfect. I am starting to get pretty tired from three nights of flat head fishing in a row and then going to work each day afterwards. I also have a guided trip tomorrow morning, so I will be unable to sleep in again.
