Report #1
👤 Mark T.fished at Gray's Lake today even with the patchy rain and thunder going on, really thought it was gonna ruin my day. but let me tell ya, the bite was on! caught 5 channel cats, biggest one was about 8 lbs, super fun fight! kept it simple, just a slip bobber rig with nightcrawlers. the wind was a bit much at times, but it honestly cooled things off so it wasn't too bad. only saw a couple other brave souls out there today, most stayed home. good times, even with the rain - can't wait to go back!
