Warmer temperatures mean warmer water. Went over to fuzz’s dock for a few cast and got these. I also got about a 15 pound carp that took me about 15 minutes to get it to the dock and tried to lift him up and it slipped out of my hand and the line broke. But definitely a fun evening! Had to get home to watch our buffalo Sabres play! LETS GO BUFFALO 🦬
