Since the forcast called for rain fished the downtown area of Cincinnati instead of heading for the Meldahl Dam.

That worked out just fine for me. Got my 1st. rod in the water at 07:40. At 07:43 my clicker started to sound off. A small flathead went for my cut skipjack. He was only 3.2 pounds and 20 inches. Baited back up and cast it out while getting set to take a photo of the fish. I looked up and that rod was bouncing in the rod holder. This fish was much bigger. I luck out for I got the bluecat in my dip net just as the hook came out. I baited up and cast it back out. Just as I was done measuring this 29 inch 10.7 pound blue ,the rod went down again!.

This time another flathead was boated. I just put the rod away so I could clear up these two fish in the bottom of my boat. This flathead came in at 6.2 pounds and 25 inches long. I finally was able to get the photos of them. That is the first time I have ever caught more than one flahthead a day. He hit at 08:05 and that wass the ened of the action. I sat in the light rain from 9:50 and checked out a totoal 6 spots before I called it a day at noon time.

Skipjack was the bait they all hit, I tried shad and tunna blood vein but no bites on them at all. The river is going to jump up to around 35 ft by Wednesday,hopefully it will get back in shape after Labor day. Tight lines to all!
