Welp, my brother and I survived!

Didn't catch anything though. lol

My buddy's brother went in for surgery for testicular cancer yesterday, so he had to cancel on us today. So my brother and I went down to the lock in town and fished around there. He caught 2 twigs and a lot of tree, I only caught tree.

Closest we came was I was reeling in on my 7th or 8th cast and just as the lure came out of the water, a fish darted out at it and missed. That was it. lol

We fished from about 9am until a little after 12:00. All-in-all, it was enjoyable, even if we didn't catch anything.

My brother's first stick

Where we fished

Way to get out there! Don't get discouraged. Each time you go out, you should try to learn something, try different baits, retrieves, different times of day. Even learning what NOT to do is beneficial to making your time on the water more efficient and successful.You say you didn't catch fish, but you still enjoyed it...that's all that matters!
