👤 Kevincloudy and breezy on the river today. only caught one decent keeper, a 3lb bass. used a green pumpkin chatterbait, seemed to work well in the slower current. the wind didn’t help, but I was just happy to get out and wet a line!

👤 Lucyback to the muskegon on a cloudy day. not much luck, just a few tiny ones that went back in. maybe the cold is keeping them down? tried a mix of spinners and jigs, but no good bites. still fun to be out, though. better luck next time!
