Muskegon Report 9-27 A.M.

[Ergude]

Went out of Muskegon for the first time in over a month. Forecasted 1 foot waves were gusty 2-3 footers out of the east. Set up in channel and went straight east with the wind. Marked a few fish in channel and in front of pier heads. Caught one big sheephead on jplug just outside of lighthouses. Water was 64 degrees on surface and 63 on bottom all the way out to 150 feet. Unbelievable if I hadn’t seen it myself. Found first 55 temp 150 down in 160 feet. Trolled all the way out to 250 without marking anything, just a few tiny bait balls. Did bring in one king about 2 inches longer than the spoon in his mouth when pulling lines. Suprisingly, it was still very lively and released unharmed. Worst day of the year for finding fish.
