👤 Mike D.fished the Grand River today, man it was a good day! overcast skies kept it cool, perfect for a long haul. hit the water just after sunrise, around 6:30am. started with some spinners but switched to a black and blue jig later on. caught a couple of nice smallmouths, biggest was like 4lbs! the fight was epic! it was like they were in a feeding frenzy or something. talked to some other anglers, they weren’t having much luck but hey, we hit a well-timed spot. good weather too, a light breeze, not too crazy. we wrapped it up around 2pm after a solid morning. can’t wait to go back!
