7 bites only 1 lil skunk beater to show for it. Lost a good 1 not sure if smallie b or pickerel. Had 1 lil tiny white follow my lure to shore and tug at it couple times but not a serious biter. They're still a lil sluggish liking super slow retrieves water still has some chill to it but this weekend and next week should help. Mud season is coming to an end and black fly season has started. Tight lines all👍👍🤘🤘🎣🎣💯💯👊!!
