7-2-13 Fishing Report

Fishing was tough today. We headed southwest out of Ludington harbor and set up in 70 feet of water (fow) in the low 55’s and put it on a 240 troll. Went out to 150 fow without a bite. Trolled back in to 80 fow still no bites. We were marking a few fish on the bottom in 100 fow so we decided to try for some Lake Trout. As we switching over our rods for trout fishing a small King hit a Super Slim SOG spoon 110 ft. out on a Slide Diver. We boated it and the skunk was out! We put down our trout gear and bounced bottom trying to get some more fish. We boated 6 Lakers, but two of them were below the 20″ size limit and had to be returned to the lake to grow another couple of inches.  We took one more small king on a 3 color core with a Super Slim Red Devil. We are hoping for the wind to blow from the south so the water will warm up and we can start catching some big Kings again.
