7-3-12 Fishing Report

We ran way south of Ludington today setting up in 120 fow. It stared out slow for us – 9 bites 2 fish. After the first half hour things started going our way. We were getting better hook-ups and landing more fish. Our wire divers were hot. Our highs were a 10″ Show Time Spin Doctor/Blue Moo Big Water Meat Rig out 220 and a 10″ Mountain Dew Spin Doctor/Cold Steel Big Water Rig out 250. The lows were a 10″ Dark Green White Crush Spin Doctor/Moo Moo Big Water Rig out 110 and a 10″ Green Slick Spin Doctor/Green Mile Big Water Rig out 150. All our meat rigs were baited with Erie Dearie Premium Strips. Our riggers were set at 80, 90, & 70 feet. Spoons were going better than flashers on the riggers. We took fish on 10 color cores and 250, 300 & 350 coppers, but once the action got going it was hard to get them out. We ended up down by Little Point Sable. We ran back there for our afternoon trip, ran the same program, and got the same results. It was quite a day – 39 Kings & 1 Brown Trout.
