5-17-08, Saturday Report
Headed out at 7am to a two cream in your coffee river. Water temps dropped 5 degrees in the last three days so I knew fishing may be tough. Well it was, but we had some bright moments. Two nice hookups lost a minute into battle. Two young flatheads about 5 and 6 pounds where caught today. It has been 7 years since I have caught one. Bullheads and white channels also. But nothing over ten pounds all day..
"Dinks in the spread was the call of the day" and it cost a lot of bait.
Got one nice striper in my fridge too.

I really can only guess... I think the slow growin young flatheads are being caught up in the hoop nets..or maybe 7 years ago recrutment has really bad.
All I know is I am glad to see them again.
