Muskegon 10/5 pm

Well, made it out for maybe the last time this season last night and was met with flat seas and uncooperative fish.

Motored out to 250 fow (which, according to my handheld GPS, is about 7 miles out from the Muskegon pier) and marked a ton of fish deep, 180' down to the bottom, but not much on top. I figured the deep fish were mostly lakers, which I don't keep anyway. Set up out there with a deep rigger, 125' down, a rigger at 75' down and a 3 color.

Made my way east and didn't get anything until I picked up a 5# King in 150 fow off the rigger at 75' down with a Shelly Snack glow spoon right at dusk. (He'll be on the grill tonight.)

And that was it. 1 for 1 on a beautiful, calm, comfortable October evening on the big pond.

Good job avoiding the skunk.

Sounds like we got lucky to come across some fish on Tuesday night. We caught all of 'em going through the same waypoint over and over. They must have been in a small pocket of water out there in the middle of nowhere.
