Fishing Report

We ran a 2 boat charter with Hiatus Charters today. They had found some fish out deep yesterday in warm water so we headed back out there this morning. We set up in 530 feet of water southwest of Ludington. We had a bite on our chute rigger set at 70 feet with a pair of regular size Fuzzy Bear Yellow Tail spoons It just rattled the rigger and didn’t hook up. Shortly after that we hit one on a low wire out 88 ft. with a new prototype Dreamweaver meat rig. It was on for a second and  was gone. We fished for quite a while before we hit another fish. A Steelhead took a UV Mixed Veggie Super Slim on a 300 copper. We got that one. We took our second and last fish on the same rod that took our first one. A slow day to say the least.

There were some pretty good waves coming from the west this morning as we headed southwest out of Ludington today. We set up in 140 feet of water. The temp break was down 100 feet. We took 2 Kings early. The first hit a regular Fuzzy Bear Yellowtail spoon stacked 10 ft. above the same spoon down 120 feet on the chute rigger. We just got that one in the boat when we hit another one on a 350 copper with a glow spoon. It was looking like we were going to have some good action, but those were our last bites for quite awhile. We trolled southwest out to the 36’s and turned back and trolled northeast to the 33’s. We took a Steelhead on our chute rigger with the Fuzzy Bear Yellowtails down 120. We missed a fish on a regular size Dreamweaver Lemon Ice 100 down on an out down and missed another fish on a 400 copper with a regular size Dreamweaver Blue Dolphin. Our last fish came when we were pulling lines. It was a Lake Trout that hit the out down set at 100 with the Lemon Ice.
