misty morning at Chain O’ Lakes made for a really cool vibe. temp was low at 7.8°C but it felt peaceful. I only caught a few small perch but enjoyed just being out there. gear was light, just my trusty rod and some worms. sometimes it's about the experience

fished today, weather was iffy with patchy rain but temp cool at 9°C. threw a spinnerbait around the reeds and got a nice chunky bass. wind was pretty strong, around 22 km/h so had to keep adjusting, but worth it! love this place!
