👤 Markfished Cherokee today under cloudy skies. not ideal but hey, the fish were biting! landed 5 bluegills, decent size too, maybe 1 lb each. they were hitting on just plain worms. i decided to take a break from the boat and fish from shore, really relaxing. can't beat the lake life!

👤 Mikeman, today was a wet one! we waited for the rain to chill out then headed out. caught 3 nice channel cats, biggest was like 7lbs! used cut bait, they were hungry for sure. muddy water added to the challenge but we figured it out. loved every moment despite the drizzle!
