light rain and thunder kinda killed the vibe today but I caught a nice 4lb catfish! used some stink bait while waiting for the thunder to pass. got some good photos in between the showers, all in all not too shabby!

took a chance with some patchy rain, not too bad really. ended up with 3 nice stripers! used some shad for bait. the wind picked up a bit made it tricky tho. had some good laughs and enjoyed the nature, can’t complain!
