👤 Loridefinitely not the best fishing day. cold and windy. only got one small salmon that was like 4 lbs. water is super cold, didn’t feel like anything was biting. but the scenery was great, you know, sometimes it’s just good to be out on the lake.

👤 Derekanother chilly day but we tried anyway! caught 2 little ones, nothing big, maybe 6 lbs max. used some old lures that surprisingly worked, lol. water temp dropping so we might need to adjust tactics soon. still love being out there though!

👤 Jessovercast skies today but that didn't stop us! i got a nice 12 lb salmon on a chartreuse lure. the bite was slow, but we had some fun. fished for about 5 hours and used downriggers at 30 ft. definitely coming back for more. overcast might be the magic!
