another drab day. overcast again. brought the kids out for some fun, they caught a few little fish with their ultra-light rods. nothing big but tons of excitement watching them reel in tiny sunnies. made for some great family time!

it rained a bit while we were on the water. i thought itโd ruin the day, but nope! managed to hook into a nice bass, maybe 3 lbs. caught it on a spinnerbait. just this patchy rain makes it feel fresh! stayed till sunset.
went out again, overcast skies again! caught a few panfish, not huge but they put up a good fight. used a bobber rig with worms, they seem to love it lately. canโt wait for sunnier days tho, need that warmth!
finally a sunny day on the river! we hit the water early, had the best luck with topwater lures. i caught 3 pike, biggest was 4 lbs! the warm weather got them active. wind picked up for a bit but didnโt stop us, great vibes out there!
yesterday was a washout, serious rain all day. I still went out tho, always gotta try! managed a small walleye. using a crankbait, just had to keep casting in the fast current. not the best day, but hey, better than being stuck inside.
