Fishing Report

We fished north the last 2 days setting up in 120 feet of water (fow) just off the bank. The morning bite has been good both days. The water is cold 30 feet down and the Kings are full of fight. Not as many fished were boated today as yesterday during the morning flurry. The fish we did land were nice ones. We had two 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Green Mile Big Water Meat Rigs out. One on a high wire out 150 and one on a low wire out 70. Both took several bites. Today the high wire was better than the low. An 8″ Chrome Killer Spin Doctor/Green Moo Dreamweaver Meat Rig was out 130 on our other high wire. It went twice. A Natural Glow Captains Choice Cut Plug on a 5 color core went twice both days. A # 3 Silver Horde Moldy Wonder Bread plug has been good on a 7.5 color core. We had a Green Ladder-back Captains Choice Cut Plug on an out down set at 35 ft.  and an 11″ White Crush Paddle/ Pickled Sunshine Action Fly at 65 ft. on the chute rigger take fish.  After the morning bite we’ve been switching our high wire divers over to a 10 ” Yellow Sparkle Spin Doctor/UV On Ice Big Water Rig and a 10″ Green Sparkle Spin Doctor/Green Gasoline Dreamweaver Meat Rig. We had a couple bites on both of them today but didn’t get good hook ups. For us it was very slow after the first hour or so today. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs.

We fished north of Ludington today setting up just off the bank in 130 feet of water (fow). We were running 6, 7.5 , & 10 color cores to start out with. We had # 3 plugs on all but the 10 color. We had a glow spoon on it. They all went once early, but that was it. We added some 200, 250 & 300 coppers later in the morning but they never took a fish. Our wire divers were good. We had a 8″Chrome Killer Spin Doctor/Green Moo Dreamweaver Meat Rig take a King out 130. We dropped it back to 160 a little later in the morning and it took another big King. Our other high wire was a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Green Mile Big Water Meat Rig out 150. It went 4 times. We only had one low wire bite. It was the same Kevin’s Girlfriend/Green Mile rig out 85. The other low wire didn’t take a hit. We had Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs.  We had a 11′ White Dreamweaver Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly 95 down on our chute rigger it went twice. We stayed in the 100 to 130 depth range most of the morning. After 10:00 a.m. we moved out to 160 to 180 and took two fish. The water is cold up there and the Kings had a lot of fight in them.
