Fishing Report

We fished straight out of Ludington this morning. Hit a Steelhead on a 5 color core with an SS Half Bloody Nose with homemade black dots. We were marking Trout on the bottom, so we put Trout rigs on our chute rigger and both low wires. We took Lakers on both divers ticking bottom with 8″ Lake Trout Candy Spin Doctors/Mountain Dew Whirly Gigs & Green & Silver Spin-N-Glos. We had a 10″ Chrome Spin Doctor/Blue Sliver Spin-N-Glo on the chute rigger. We took 2 Lakers on the chute and 5 on our divers. Port high wire Ninja Diver out 120 with an 8″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly took a 2-year-old King. We had a rip on a 3 color core with a Gold Fireball. Lost a fish on a 7.5 color core with a Steely Ranger. We took a nice Coho on the chute rigger stack SS Rodman. Our crew enjoyed their first trip to Lake Michigan.

Fished north this morning. We went to the same spot as yesterday, but the water was colder, so we went further north. We hit fish before all our rods were set. A 7.5 color core went first with a Steelie Ranger. Then a 10 color went with a Mini Captains Choice Pink Dot Plug. Starboard 7.5 took a rip on a Natural Glow Mini Captains Choice Plug. Our port 250 copper went with a UV Shelly Snack and so did our starboard out down with a pair of SS Sodas down 60. We only boated the King on the 250 copper. We took a nice Laker on our chute rigger down 90 with an 11″ White Fish scale/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. Our 225 copper with a Goat spoon went and took a small King. Took a King on a 300 copper with a mag Dreamweaver UV Wonder Bread. A Trout hit our port low wire out 300 with an 8″ Lake Trout Candy Spin Doctor/Green Spin-N-Glo and got off right behind the boat. We missed a fish and took a small fish on our starboard high Ninja Diver out 150 with an 8″ DW White Crush Silver Back Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. We turned out heading for deeper water and hit a triple.  We boated 1 on the 250 copper with the UV Shelly Snack. Lost a good one on the 225 copper with the Goat spoon and took one on a 5 color core with a Double Orange Crush. Our starboard high Ninja diver with the white Crush Silver Back Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly went out 170 and took one of our biggest Kings. Our last fish, a Laker took an 11″ Charlie Special DW Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly on the chute rigger. We had pretty good action, but the fish did a good job escaping a trip back to the dock in our cooler.
