went fishing today, misty n chilly, managed to snag a few small catfish, nothing huge tho. used chicken livers, they work sometimes! it was a laid-back day and i enjoyed it despite the weather. catching fish in the fog is kinda cool, reminds me of the old days.

what a day! it rained on and off, didn’t think I’d catch anything but landed a pretty nice walleye, maybe 6lbs! it was a tough fight! used a heavy jig head with a minnow. got soaked tho lol, but hey, it was worth it for that fish! bring on the rain!!

overcast again today... went out with the fam, caught a few dinky bluegills but no real luck for big ones. we were using live bait and trying to get something on the line but it was pretty slow. still had a blast, though! just love being out there.

hit the river again today but dang it was cold! only managed to catch a lil perch, just a few inches. water temp’s low, can’t blame em for not biting. used a small spinner but guess they weren’t in the mood. maybe next time will be better!
