Fishing Report

Today is the first trip we’ve ran since our last report. Fishing is improving and some big Kings are being caught. The King pictured bellow weighed 24.10 lbs. It came on a low wire diver with a 10″ Black Crush Spin Doctor/Froggie Big Water Meat Rig and Erie Dearie Meat. The other three big Kings came on 10″ Spin Doctors/Big Water Meat Rigs and they were all baited with Erie Dearie Meat. The Ludington Offshore Classic is coming up this week. The tournament kicks off with Ruboy Thursday on the 18th. The Bud Lite Ladies Classic and the West Shore Bank Youth Tournament is being held on Friday the 19th.  The Offshore Classic Pro/Am and the Fish Hawk Big Fish Tournament are running on the 20th & 21st. The Ludington & Scottville Chamber and the tournament committee do a great job putting this event on. We are fishing in all the events except the Youth Tournament. I will continue the reports after the tournament.

Fished up north today hoping that the south wind would warm the water some. We set up in 120 feet of water (fow) in the high 01’s. The temp looked good, 65 on the surface and 47 at 60 ft. on our Fish Hawk unit. Our first fish hit an out down set at 58 ft. with a pair of glow spoons. It was a small King. That rod went two more time taking another small King and a nice Coho. A 200 copper with an 8″ UV Lizard Spin Doctor/UV ON Ice Big Water Meat Rig  got our first big King. A low wire diver out 100 took our next bite. It was a nice King but it got wrapped and broke off. Our other out down set a 68 ft. with a pair of glow spoons  took two Kings, a big one and a small one. The biggest fish of the day came on a 350 copper with a 10″ Chrome Mountain Dew Spin Doctor/Moo Moo Big Water Meat Rig. We ran an afternoon trip yesterday. It was slow but we did manage to get three keeper Lake Trout. We also caught a little Trout  that had to go back and lost another at the back of the boat.
