👤 Ethanthought we might get lucky with a break in the rain but ended up getting soaked! only managed a couple small fish, nothing over a pound. 11.1°C temp sucked but was still a bit of fun out there. gonna dry off and plan for next time!

👤 Miarainy vibes today, couldn’t catch much, only a small perch. avg temp 12.3°C made it pretty rough. wind was blowing at 16.6 km/h too. still a good time getting out there with friends but the fish weren’t cooperating at all.
Report #3
👤 Samwas really windy today, 25.9 km/h! caught some nice browns tho, around 2.5 lbs each. used some minnows for bait and fished near the deeper spots. the water was colder and i think it slowed the bites but we had a few good ones.
