Just wondering how everyone deals with high water when fishing for channels and flats. I would imagine you are looking for slower current but does anybody have any other tips, I am struggling even to get little fiddlers and it looks like the high water is going to be around for a while.

High water cats

We tried a little on the croix yesterday. Set up on a few current seams. Figured other fish (food) are using those seams the cats should be using the also. Good plan but didnt catch any cats.

Seriously dirty water conditions… Many a 20′ log hit the boat this weekend. Lots of floating debris too.
Cleaning of live every 5-10 minutes.Probably 20 over 10#, biggest 18#.
