Today my good friend Matt Erny joined me on a research expedition to some new water. Although it was quite a fun adventure getting my boat through some pretty narrow sections of the Muskegon, the fishing wasn't as spectacular as I hoped it might be. We were rewarded with a few bass though, including this impressive smallmouth that smashed a Zudbubbler. More familiar sections of the river are fishing very well right now and should continue to be great for the next month.
