another heavy rain day at the pier. omg it was so windy, had a tough time keeping my gear steady. caught nothing but a cold! waited it out but the fish just weren’t having it. guess it was just one of those days, hoping for better weather soon

sunny day finally! got out to the pier with my buddies and the fish were biting! landed a few nice stripers around 4-5lbs. used some lures, tried out that new crankbait. felt great to be out in the sun, perfect day for fishing

hit the pier again, same ol’ overcast weather. didn’t really feel like it was a good day but ended up catching a decent size channel catfish! around 6lbs. used a slip bobber setup with shrimp. felt good to reel something in, even if it was slow!

went out today, overcast and chill. managed to snag a few bluegills, nothing big tho. used some worms I dug up nearby. the fish were nibbling but not committing hard. still a beautiful day to be out there, can’t complain too much!

cloudy day at the pier today. didn’t catch much at first, but then finally hooked a nice striper around 5lbs. used a chatterbait, it was awesome! the wind picked up but it was still fun. almost lost my gear over the edge lol. overall, happy with the trip!
