Fishing the Flood...

Sarcastic fishing report: Target bass in the following areas during high water events. Largemouth bass can be had by fan casting a lipless crankbait through  parking lots with special attention being paid to the parking curbs (spot within the spot). Try flipping a jig to any steps leading up to peoples houses and apartments as well as steps leading up to businesses and restuarants. Carolina rigs can be ultra effective this time of the season as well, try dragging a lizzard down bike paths and flooded roads with special attention being payed to the bases of street signs and street light poles. Try slow rolling spinnerbaits (black is effective in high muddy water) around submerged cars and busses. Striped bass also seem to congregate near heavy traffic areas such as crosswalks and sidewalks. Crankbaits are great around bus stops and buss stations. Try plastic worms near floating debris.  Make sure to keep your trolling motor on high so you can cover alot of water using search baits to find fish fast, then slow down once you get on them. Happy fishing.
