Fishing Report

We fished out front and a little south of Ludington today. It was light before we got our first bite. A King hit a 10 color core with a Dreamweaver Wonder Bread Captain’s Choice Cut Plug. We took two more Kings on that plug. One on a 10 color and another on a 7.5 color core. We had a high wire diver out 200 with a 10″ White Crush Green Scale Spin Doctor/Action Fly Meat Rig take 3 fish and a Pearl Zebra Captain’s Choice Cut Plug took a Coho 55 down on an out down. Our chute rigger went once 75 down with a 11″ White Crush Paddle/Pickle Sunshine Action Fly. We missed a few other hits, but after the first couple hours the action slowed for us. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.

After the strong winds the last couple days we were finally able to get out today, but not for long. We headed north. The surface temp was 68 degrees and it was 40 degrees 20 feet down. Very strong current from the south made it hard to get a good troll. The waves were approaching 3 feet and after a couple hours fishing our crew had enough of the rough water and opted to cut the trip short and go in. We had 5 bites and got 3 in the boat. Two came on a 10 color core with a Wonder Bread Dreamweaver Captain’s Choice Cut Plug and we hit two on a 175 copper with a Ace High Purple Haze Plug. Our only diver bite came on a low wire out 80 with a 10″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.
