on the 27th, wow it poured! still, i braved the rain and landed a few decent catfish. was using my go-to chicken liver bait. the wind picked up too which made it tricky to cast, but hey, rain or shine, it’s fishing!

fished on the 22nd, and it was cloudy but warm. caught a bunch of little bluegill, used my ultra-light rod, so much fun! also saw some bigger fish swimming around but they weren’t interested in what i had. beautiful day tho!

went out on the 21st and it was patchy rain, but we still caught some nice panfish. used a bobber with worms, super simple but effective! lost a few good ones tho, kind of a bummer but overall a good time with friends.
