5-13-17 Fishing Report

We fished south of Ludington today. We started out targeting Lake Trout between 45 and 65 feet of water. We had steady action from the time we started until we puled  our lines with a  3 man limit. We hit 4  Lakers when we had the ninth one on. We released all 4 in good shape. Most of our fish came on our wire divers fished on or near the bottom. We had 8″ Chrome Spin Doctors with Blue and Chrome WhirlyGigs and Blue and Chrome Spin-N-Glos on our divers. We ran 2 riggers they both had Silver Glow Dodgers with Spin-N-Glows on them. We hit 4 fish on our riggers and 9 on our wire divers. We moved out to deeper water hoping to catch a King Salmon. We trolled for about an hour with no bites. We started pulling line when a good sized King hit a 10″ White Slick Mountain Dew Spin Doctor/Cold Steel Big Water Tackle Meat Rig with a Dreamweaver Premium Meat Strip, pictured left, out 150 on a high wire diver. After a good battle we put it in the boat and headed for home. Fishing is good in Ludington now. Limit catches of Lakers are common and several big Kings are being caught.
