We fished north of Ludington harbor today setting up in 100 feet of water. We hit our first fish in the dark on a 325 copper with a #3 Silver Hoard Gray Ghost plug. It got off but we took a nice King on it a little later in the morning. Our starboard #5 Deeper Diver out 165 with an 8″ Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Bubble Action Fly took off with a big King that we boated after a long fight. It weighed 26 lbs. on our scale.
Our high wire #4 Deeper Diver out 250 with an 8″ Kevins Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig went twice but they didn’t hookup well and we didn’t get either one. Our port out down set at 90 with a pair of Super Slim Green Hulks went 3 times. We landed 2 of the 3. Our low # 5 Deeper Diver out 185 went twice with a 10″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig. We boated 1 and broke off 1. We set a new Free Style Charters big fish weight today with a 33.34 lb. King.
It came on a high wire #4 Deeper Diver out 285 with a 8″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickle Sunshine Action Fly. It took a full 40 minutes before it came to the net. It is the biggest fish of the week so far at Captain Chucks and is sitting in second place in the Big King Bonanza. Our previous best was a 32.13 lb. King that we caught many years ago. Our chute rigger down 115 went twice with an 11″ White Crush Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. We boated the first one but the second one came up into our 350 copper that had a big King on it. We had an 8″ Kevin’s Girlfriend /Pickled Sunshine Action Fly on the 350 copper. There are some big Kings out there and we were fortunate to catch a few of them today.
