7-2-16 Fishing Report

We fished south of Ludington today between 70 and 95 feet of water. We had 9 rods targeting Lake Trout and 6 fishing the top 40 feet hoping for a Steelhead, King, or Brown. We caught 2 Steelhead on a 1 color core with a Gold Craig’s Steelhead Super Slim. We had a 400 copper out with a dodger and green & yellow Spin-N-Glo take a surprise King that weighed 22 lbs., our biggest fish so far this season. Our first thought was that our rig was hung on the bottom. First mate Austin grabbed the rod and said “That’s not bottom”. How right he was. The King gave Courtney quite a battle. Lots of boat traffic today and I think it slowed the action. Our wire divers fished on or near the bottom were once again our best rods.
