on the 22nd, another overcast day. caught a few nice bluegills around 10 inches. used a simple bobber and worm setup. pretty slow, but the bites were solid. just nice to be out, ya know?

went fishing on the 20th, heavy rain made it tricky! had to fight the wind a bit too. ended up just catching a bunch of little sunfish. was kinda fun though, even if it was a tough day. gear didn't get too wet thankfully!

hit the lake on the 18th, not much happening, only got a couple of small perch. overcast and cool, was a bit slow for us. switched to a live minnow but they just weren't biting much today.

marked the 12th on my calendar! weather was nice, overcast but warm at 18Β°c. hooked into a monster 8 lb walleye! barely could bring it in with my light rod but so worth it. used a crankbait, they were all over it!

patchy rain on the 5th but we toughed it out. only managed 2 small bass, but man they put up a fight! used a green jig, seemed to work despite the drizzle. had a blast just being out there though.
