Almost skunked, we had like 10 bites from brown trout, they kept missing the lure!! Only bit when we were trolling at high speeds. Got an aggressive perch though. We forgot the net, fished with my buddy Vlad Voytenko . Very windy, probably why only one perch bit. We made a fire though, warmed up from the waves splashing all over us. Waves were enormous
