Report #1
👤 Mark J.fished the Des Moines river yesterday with a buddy despite the misty conditions. we got there around 6 am, just as the sun was coming up. used my trusty spinning rod with a 1/4 oz jig and some minnows. man, those bass were biting! ended up with 5 keepers, biggest was like 4 lbs! the water was pretty chilly, but felt good to be out there. wind picked up a bit but nothing crazy, overall a solid day on the water. can’t wait to go again soon!
