6-28-26 Fishing Report

Because of the cold water north yesterday we opted to go straight out of Ludington harbor this morning. We set up off the crown. It was 49 degrees down 50 feet. All rods were set before we hit our 1st fish. It was a King that hit our port low wire diver out 100 with a 10″ White Crush Green Scale Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine DW Meat Rig. Our port out down set at 45 ft. with a pair of SS Half Wonder Breads went next and doubled us up. The King took the free slider. The chute rigger went with a 10″ White Slick DW Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly stacked with a SS Half Green Hulk. The fish took the main bait but got off. We swapped out the Paddle for a 10″ Lake Trout Candy Spin Doctor/Mountain Dew Whirly Gig. It took a good size Trout off the bottom. We rode for a while before we turned and trolled north. We took a King 50 down on our starboard out down with a Charlie Special spoon. We just set it and reached back to get the slider when it popped. We took a Lake Trout on our chute rigger down 130 with an 8″ Charlie Special Flip Fin Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. Our last fish was nice Steelhead that took a Yeck Goat spoon on a 5-color core. It put on a show for us making several jumps. Our first time Lake Michigan Angler’s had a beautiful morning and a fun trip.
