Fished out deep today a little southwest of Ludington. We checked the down temp on the 37 line and it was 63 degrees 60 ft. down on our Fish Hawk. A little warm so we checked it again on the 40 line and it was 58. Better, so we set up there and put it on a 220 troll. Hit a Steelhead right away on a UV Black Dot Starburst Super Slim. Missed another fish on the same bait on a 175 copper and another one on the 200. Took a nice Coho pictured below on a low wire diver out 85 with a mag Green Glow. We had good action on our out troll to the 44’s. The water was warming the further west we went so we turned and made an in troll. We only had 2 bites all the way back in to the low 41’s, one on a high wire diver out 185 with an 8″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Liquid Sunshine Action Fly and the other on a prototype Super Slim on a 200 copper. We lost them both. We turned back southwest and the action picked back up. There are some good size Coho out there and they were doing a good job getting off our lures. The high wire with the 8″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Liquid Sunshine Action Fly went 7 times. We took the big King pictured below on a 300 copper with a 10″ Chrome killer Spin Doctor/Green Gasoline Dreamweaver Meat Rig. That was our only meat bite. An 8″ Blue Dolphin Spin Doctor/Green Mirage Strong Fly out 200 on a high wire diver took 2 Steelhead. Our only Laker came 80 down on an out down with a Super Slim Black Dot UV Blue Dolphin. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.

Very foggy this morning running out southwest of Ludington this morning. We set up in the 38’s west and put it on a 260 troll. It was 43.6 degrees 60 ft. down on our Fish Hawk. We hit a triple setting up and only boated one of them. We lost a big fish on a 175 copper with a Yeck Purple Ham spoon, boated a Laker on a regular DW Blue Hulk stacked above a 11″ White Crush/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly 65 down on the chute rigger and broke off another big fish on an out down set at 55 ft. with a pair of regular Dreamweaver Super Bread spoons. After that it was mostly copper bites for us. We did take a nice King on a high wire out 135 with a 10″ Black Slick Spin Doctor/Black Gasoline Dreamweaver Meat Rig, a Coho out 75 on a low wire out 75 with a mag DW Green Glow and lost one on our other low wire out 85 with an 8″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Liquid Sunshine Action Fly. We took fish on a 10 color core with a regular Bloody Nose and a Super Slim Bumble Bee. Our hottest bait today was a Super Slim UV Black Dot Starburst pictured above. We took 2 Steelhead on a 175 copper, a Coho on one of 200 coppers and 2 Kings , 3 Steelhead and a Lake Trout on our other 200 copper all on that spoon. We trolled out to the 42’s west and back in to the 38’s. We had good action all morning. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips on all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.
