We fished south of Ludington today between 55 and 70 feet of water. The strong east south east wind made it hard to keep on a good troll and maintain a steady trolling speed. Our lines were crabbed over to one side or the other all morning. With all that said we still had pretty good action. Our hot rod was an out down fished near the bottom (pictured below) with a Tin Can Dodger/Chartreuse Green WhirlyGig. It went at least four times. Our wire divers fished on or near the bottom were good too. A Blue Chrome WhilyGig with glow wings behind an 8″ Chrome Spin Doctor was good too. We only had one copper bite today. A 250 copper with an 8″ Chrome Spin Doctor / Chrome Chartreuse Spin-N-Glo took a nice Laker.

5-13-17 Fishing Report
We fished south of Ludington today. We started out targeting Lake Trout between 45 and 65 feet of water. We had steady action from the time we started until we puled our lines with a 3 man limit. We hit 4 Lakers when we had the ninth one on. We released all 4 in good shape. Most of our fish came on our wire divers fished on or near the bottom. We had 8″ Chrome Spin Doctors with Blue and Chrome WhirlyGigs and Blue and Chrome Spin-N-Glos on our divers. We ran 2 riggers they both had Silver Glow Dodgers with Spin-N-Glows on them. We hit 4 fish on our riggers and 9 on our wire divers. We moved out to deeper water hoping to catch a King Salmon. We trolled for about an hour with no bites. We started pulling line when a good sized King hit a 10″ White Slick Mountain Dew Spin Doctor/Cold Steel Big Water Tackle Meat Rig with a Dreamweaver Premium Meat Strip, pictured left, out 150 on a high wire diver. After a good battle we put it in the boat and headed for home. Fishing is good in Ludington now. Limit catches of Lakers are common and several big Kings are being caught.
