Ran a double yesterday and have another today. We had a tough time getting them going yesterday morning. The action picked up for our afternoon trip and got really good this morning. Our 5, 7.5 & 10 color cores were good with plugs early. We also had a plug on an out down set at 70 ft. They all took fish. Our best plug continues to be the Natural Glow Captain’s Choice Cut Plug. We had some decent rigger action. Our best was a 10″ Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Screw Strong Fly down 80. We were taking fish down deeper today than yesterday. Our wire divers have been good. We’ve been running a 10″Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Green Mile Big Water Meat Rig on both a high & low wire diver. The high out 130 to 150 and the low from 70 to 110. Our other high wire has been a 10″ Chrome Killer Spin Doctor/Green Gasoline Dreamweaver Meat Rig out 150 to 185. Later in the morning a 8″ Chrome Mountain Dew NBK Spin Doctor/Black UV Big Water Rig on a 10 color has been good. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs.

8-18-14 Fishing Report
Fishing has improved at Ludington the last couple days. The water is still colder than it usually is this time of year. We have been fishing north starting the morning in 90 t0 130 feet of water (fow) and after the morning bite moving out to 140 to 220 fow. For us it’s been a plug bite early and then mainly Spin Doctors and meat rigs. Our best plug has been a Natural Glow Captain’s Choice Cut Plug. We’ve been running plugs on our 3, 5, 7.5 color cores and all 3 riggers. Today our 2 out downs were set at 20 & 25 and the chute was down 40. The morning bite for us was much better today than yesterday. Our wire divers were good all morning. We had one low back 65 with a 10″Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Green Mile Big Water Meat Rig and on the same side we also had it on a high wire out 100. They both took fish but the low was better than the high. The other high wire diver was a 10′ Chrome Killer Spin Doctor/Green Gasoline Dreamweaver Meat Rig out 110. It got bit several times. We switched our 7.5 & 10 color cores over to meat rigs, pulled our 3 color cores and put out 200 & 250 coppers. The 7.5 cores didn’t go but both 10’s went. One had a 10’Green Sparkle Spin Doctor/Green UV Big Water Meat Rig and the other was a 8″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Green Mile Big Water Rig. We had 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend/Green Miles on our 200 & 250 coppers. They both took fish. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs.
