today was kinda rough, really windy and rainy. i managed to catch a few fish but none worth braggin about. had some bites but mostly small ones. couldn’t stay out long, the weather just made it too tough. better luck next time!

yesterday was decent, overcast and pretty calm. fished for a little at dawn, picked up a nice 6lb bass near the shoals. used a spinnerbait, they were munchin. perfect day for fishing despite the clouds!

went out for a few hours in the evening, overcast again. managed to pull in a couple of bass, around 3lbs each. used a topwater frog, they were hungry today! feels good to be out on the lake, even if it looks gloomy.

man, it was a wet one today! we braved the heavy rain and ended up catching a couple of nice catfish. i used chicken liver on a bottom rig. hard work paid off! like fishing in a monsoon but sometimes you just gotta go for it.

took the kayak out today, not as much rain as i thought, just kinda chilly. caught a few perch but only small ones. maybe they were shy from the weather? used live worms, a little frustrated but hey, at least got some fresh air!
