May 20, man it was raining hard! only got out for a bit before we had to retreat. didn’t catch anything but had fun trying to fish in the storm. gear was soaked, but hey, it’s all about the experience, right? 😂

went early on the 17th, overcast again, but the wind was wild, 30 km/h! did not catch much, lost a good one, felt bad. ended up just chilling with the crew and having some laughs despite the tough fishing. next time! 🎣
