Fishing Report

Ran doubles the past two days. One trip today and weather permitting another double tomorrow. We have been basically fishing he same area north of Ludington for a while now fishing pretty much the same program. We have been running Spin Doctors and meat rigs on our wire divers and coppers, plugs & spoons on our cores and riggers except the chute rigger. We have been running a big Paddle or Spin Doctor/fly combo on the chute rigger. Our best plugs have been Michigan Shiner & Natural Glow  Captain’s Choice Cut Plugs on 5, 7.5, 10 color cores & 200 coppers. Our wire divers have been good every trip. We have been starting our low wires out between 80 & 110 and the highs between 110 & 150 and dropping them back later in the day. 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctors/Green Mile Big Water Meat Rigs have been on 1 high and 1 low wire now for at least a week. The other high wire has been a 10″ Chrome Killer Spin Doctor/Green Gasoline Dreamweaver Meat Rig although today we switched it up and put a 8″ Chrome Killer Spin Doctor/Total Chaos Big Water Meat Rig on it which went 3 times. Our best copper rigs have been both the 8 & 10 inch Chrome Kevorkian Spin Doctors/UV On Ice Big Water or Green Mile Dreamweaver Meat Rigs, 8 & 10 inch Chrome Mountain Dew NBK Spin Doctors/UV On Ice or Black UV Big Water Meat Rigs and 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctors/Green Mile Big Water Meat Rig. The Kevin’s Girlfriend Rig has been real good on a 300 copper the last couple days. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs.

We fished north again today setting up in 70 feet of water (fow). The water was warm top to bottom and we didn’t hit out first fish until we got out deeper. Our plugs didn’t go this morning like they have been. We only had one plug bite. A Steelhead took a # 3 Double Glow on a 7.5 color core. Our out downs were set at 48 & 55 feet with glow spoons. The 48 down went twice with regular size DW Beefeaters. A low wire diver out 85 with a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Green Mile Big Water Meat Rig took our biggest King. A 10″ Chrome Killer Spin Doctor/Green Gasoline Dreamweaver Meat Rig out 150 took two nice kings. We moved out to deeper water and finished the trip out there. No baits took more than 1 bite out deep. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs.
