Fishing Report

Good fishing today southwest of Ludington. We ran a double and fished them both between 240 & 475 feet of water.  Our mature Kings came on an 11″ White Crush Dreamweaver Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly 80 ft. down on the chute rigger and a regular size Dreamweaver Wonder Bread spoon on a 200 copper. We took 4 fish on the Paddle and the Wonder Bread spoon was one of our hot baits for the day. Fuzzy Bear Yellow Tail spoons have been  our hottest spoons the last couple of trips out there. We have been running them on a high wire diver, a pair on a out down, and one on a 10 color core. A Super Slim Super Bread on a 150 copper took 3 shots on our afternoon trip. A Yeck Fireball out 110 on a high wire was good on our morning trip, but didn’t take a hit in the afternoon. A DW Beefeater spoon 90 ft. out on a low wire took fish on both trips.

After experiencing two slow morning in a row up north, we headed southwest this morning to try our luck out where we fished last night. We set up in 190 feet of water (fow) and trolled west. The morning started out a little slow, but the action picked up when we got outside side 250 fow. All our bites but 2 came on spoons. We took a King and a big Coho 65 down on an 11″ White Crush Dreamweaver Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly on the chute rigger. The big Laker pictured below came on a mag size Fuzzy Bear Yellow Tail spoon on a 250 copper. A regular size Yellow Tail out 130 on a high wire diver took 4 Steelhead and a mature King. We weren’t having much action on our riggers until we put a pair of Yeck Afro Glows on an out down at 45 feet. They went 3 times in a half hour. A DW Beefeater 100 out on a low wire dive took several shots. We took hits on 5, 7 &  10 color cores and 150, 200, 250, & 300 coppers.
