Fishing Report

It was a tough bite for us today up north. We started south of the Point in 130 feet of water (fow) and  trolled north. We had everything set for a while before we had any bites . We were wondering if we were going to get any bites when we hit a double.  One was a Coho that bite a Super Slim Jail Bait on a 3 color core. The other was a good size King that hit a Super Slim Double Orange Laser on a 5 color core. We turned back south a mile north of the Point and took it out to 180 fow. We took 3 fish out there. A Coho on a regular size Green Skinny Jeans down 45 on an out down, a Steelhead on a magnum glow spoon on a 250 copper, and the King pictured left hit a Mag Fuzzy Bear Frozen Veggie on a 200 copper. Our last fish hit a Yeck Jagger Bomb with dingles on a 5 color core. Our crew made the most of our bites on the 5 hour trip. They never lost a fish.

We fished south of Ludington today. We started the morning  fishing between 50 and 65 feet of water with our wire divers and riggers targeting Lake Trout. We had 3 lead cores and 2 coppers off boards with spoons hoping we could catch some silver fish on them. We trolled for 3 miles and didn’t find many Lakers. We did take 2 Kings on a 3 color core with a Super Slim Jail Bait, pictured left. We moved out to 70 to 80 feet of water and took our biggest Trout on a 8″ Chrome Spin Doctor/Yellow Red Dat WhirlyGig fished near the bottom on a high wire diver. We still weren’t marking many fish on the bottom, but we were marking some suspended fish. We pulled our Trout rigs and put spoons and a meat rig on our riggers and Spin Doctors/Flys and meat rigs on our divers. We didn’t have any flasher bites but we hit a few Kings on spoons. Our best set up was an out down with a regular size Green Skinny Jeans stacked with a Super Slim Skinny Jeans. We took 2 Kings with it set at 45 ft., then we lowered it to 55 ft. and took 2 more. We took most of our Kings fishing between 90 and 110 feet of water.
