I came to this spot because some orangespotted sunfish (Lepomis humilis) had been caught here in the past. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any of those, but I did manage to catch more than a couple of round gobies (Neogobius melanostomus), an invasive species native to Europe. I had thought about targeting this species later on in Lake Michigan, but I guess I won't need to do that anymore.
