Comments
Scott was the cat king today, he caught a very large 37lb flathead. The bait catching was fairly consistent, with some of the bluegills having their spawning colors on. I managed to peck out one little five pounder and quite a few of the bluegills.
The river flow is still quite high, which made find acceptable spots to fish very difficult. We may have had a couple of other hits, but the action was very amebic.

Observations

The azaleas are in full bloom and the mosquitoes are terrible.
