👤 Emilytoday was straight up sunny, but man was the wind aggressive! we hit the water early, but the fish were a little sluggish. managed to catch one small bass, maybe 1 lb... tough day overall. still enjoyed the time on the boat though, can't let a breeze ruin my vibe!

👤 Kyleanother day at harlan with patchy rain here and there, kinda annoying but still had a blast. got a good hit on my spinner rig and pulled out 2 nice catfish, both around 3 lbs. the rain kept the crowds away, which was cool, felt like we had the whole lake to ourselves!
