Fishing Report

Tough day of fishing south of Ludington on the Free Style. First fish came in the dark on a Super Slim Super Bread 65 down on an out down. It took a while before we took our second fish on a 300 copper with an 8″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Liquid Sunshine Action Fly. We put a regular Dreamweaver Raspberry Carbon on our other out down 55 down with a Super Slim Raspberry Carbon free sliding above it. They went twice but we didn’t get either one. We took a big King on a high wire diver out 300 with  10″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig. A good size Coho hit a 8″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Liquid Sunshine Action Fly 100 down on the chute rigger. When it was almost in the net it did that Coho thing and spun off. Our last fish came on a 10″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Pearl Glow Big Water Meat Rig on a 375 copper. We use Dreamweaver premium strips in all our meat rigs, Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods and Morgan’s wire on our wire rods.

The wave height reading at Ludington weather buoy was reading 2.6 ft. when we headed south this morning. We set up in 130 feet of water and did a  south trough troll. The waves felt bigger than 2.6 ft. but with both sea anchors deployed it wasn’t too bad. We had 3 riggers in, 4 divers and 2 coppers in when the chute rigger with an 8″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Liquid Sunshine Action Fly down 110 ft. took a hit. We didn’t get it. A high diver out 300 with a 10″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig went next. It was fighting like a big King. A #3 pink glow plug on a 200 copper went then a 8″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Liquid Sunshine Action Fly 85 down on an out down took off, a triple header. We had 3 triples today and a double. The high wire out 300 went 1 more time and the other high wire out 220 then 260 with the same White Slick/Pickle Rig went twice. We were also running the same rig on a 350 copper and it went twice. We had a Natural Glow Captain’s Choice Cut Plug go twice on a 375 copper. Only 1 low wire bite. It came on an 8″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Liquid Sunshine Action Fly out 185. Starting to see a pattern here? They are liking White Spin Doctors and Green Action Fly’s. The waves kept building so we cut the trip short a little after 9:00 and headed in. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs, Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods and Morgan’s wire on our wire rods.
