5-26-17 Fishing Report

We fished south of Ludington today. We started the morning  fishing between 50 and 65 feet of water with our wire divers and riggers targeting Lake Trout. We had 3 lead cores and 2 coppers off boards with spoons hoping we could catch some silver fish on them. We trolled for 3 miles and didn’t find many Lakers. We did take 2 Kings on a 3 color core with a Super Slim Jail Bait, pictured left. We moved out to 70 to 80 feet of water and took our biggest Trout on a 8″ Chrome Spin Doctor/Yellow Red Dat WhirlyGig fished near the bottom on a high wire diver. We still weren’t marking many fish on the bottom, but we were marking some suspended fish. We pulled our Trout rigs and put spoons and a meat rig on our riggers and Spin Doctors/Flys and meat rigs on our divers. We didn’t have any flasher bites but we hit a few Kings on spoons. Our best set up was an out down with a regular size Green Skinny Jeans stacked with a Super Slim Skinny Jeans. We took 2 Kings with it set at 45 ft., then we lowered it to 55 ft. and took 2 more. We took most of our Kings fishing between 90 and 110 feet of water.
