Another slow day to report unfortunately.  Got out good and early on Sunday with a crew of 4.  Slowed down in Muskegon lake to check out the sand docks, but wasn't marking much there, so I headed out in the lake.  Sat down just north on a pile of fish.  set lines, but no action.  Just as sunrise was happening we took a nice king on a Northport Bloody clown spoon, then a couple more hours of dodging boats and no fish.  Radio chatter indicated some fish biting in 120-170, so we picked up lines and ran out and sat down in 120 on a west troll.  A couple hours later, we had taken 3 fish, but one was an undersized laker that was released unharmed.  We finished 100% on bites at 4 for 4, but only managing 4 bites was a bit discouraging.  We even stuck it out an extra 2 hours as I didnt have an afternoon trip. 

Most boats we talked too had similar luck as us.  I did see a couple fish hooked up while we were in the 120-140 fow range.  Saw zero hookups in front, although there was a pile of fish in there on the graph.  Maybe with the continued east winds, things will light up inside? 

At the cleaning table, two guys had a couple nice boxes of fish and they had both run north 8 miles or so and fished the 100-130 fow range.  Maybe we were late to the party getting out deeper. 

Our fish in the deeper water came on inside divers for two of them.  back 150 with a Keylime northport with a special white back took the laker, and a white spin doctor with slick glow tape trailed by a white and glow fly took a king back 170 on 1 setting.  The other king took a Northport blueberry glow spoon 75 down.  I also had 13,15,18,21 colors of lead out there with no luck.  Those should have been firing as the fish seemed to be in that 70-90 range down.
