another overcast outing, windy too! i went out with my brother early morning. we found a good spot by the narrows & i snagged a nice 6lb channel cat. didnโt see that coming! made the whole trip worth it, plus some good laughs!

came back to the river today, still overcast and kinda cool, but hey, got a few bites. only caught a couple small perch, but brought my son along and he had a blast reeling them in! best part was seeing him smile, made the trip worth it.
overcast day at barren river, felt kinda chilly. only managed to catch a few small ones. used my old trusty spinner, but they just werenโt biting like I hoped. still, nice to be out and hear the water flow. better luck next time, I guess.
fished again today, still overcast but it was calm for the most part. caught 4 smallmouth, all under 2lbs but super fun! used a soft plastic worm, they were biting pretty well in the afternoon. love that feeling when you get a hit!
back to barren today, overcast again but temp was nice. the wind picked up a lil bit, but i threw a crankbait near the drop-off and BOOM! got a massive 5lb bass. felt so good fighting that one! always a thrill, can't get enough.
