Comments:

It was a Thursday night and I had Friday off so I was going to take advantage of it. My plan was to hit some unconventional flathead waters for this time of year and that is exactly what I did. I mainly targeted main channel areas both wing dams and areas with plenty of woody cover.
The night was quite slow; I only had three bites and out of the three I only connected on two of them. The thirty three pound flat head I caught put up quite a fight. With the low flows it did not have a hard time pulling the boat upstream and it also managed to tangle the line into the front anchor rope.

Observations:

I fished a total of four spots and a caught a fish in two different spots that both had a depth of twenty plus feet.
