went out again on the 20th despite the rain, got soaked but it was worth it! caught 10 nice perch! water was murky but a bright colored lure seemed to do the trick! it’s all about that persistence, right?

the 18th was chilly, only caught 3 perch but hey, they were fun to catch! used a small jig head with live bait. conditions were tough but at least got to chill by the lake for a bit.
