Ludington Area Fishing Reports

This is going to be an abbreviated report. Had a charter boat meeting tonight and need to get to bed. We fished south today setting up in 120 feet of water. We hit a big fish in the dark on a 5 color core with a #3 Pearl Pink Glow Silver Horde plug. It was on for a while then got off. We had good action but the fish won more battles than we did. We had two hot rods. First was a regular size Dreamweaver Rasta Goose Spoon and the second was an 8″ Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Bubble Action Fly on a 200 copper. They both went three times. We had bites on our wire divers with 10″ Spin Doctors/Dreamweaver Meat Rigs but didn’t land any of them. Rigger bites were 50 & 55 feet down. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and pull our lead core and Morgan’s Tackle copper lines with Dreamweaver Ninja Boards.

We fished south today setting up in 100 feet of water and trolling south. Our first bite came on a 200 copper with an 8″ Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Bubble Action Fly. After a long fight it got away. We took a small King on an out down set at 75 with a regular size DW Green Skinny Jeans Free Sliding above a mag Fuzzy Bear UV Green Skinny Jeans. Another smaller hit a low wire diver out 95 with a 10″ Glow Blade Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Bubble Dreamweaver Meat Rig. Our action slowed so we put it on an out troll. Took a King on an out down set at 65 with a Super Slim Green Skinny Jeans free sliding above a DW Green Skinny Jeans. We no sooner put it back down and took a nice Steelhead on it. We hit a King on a high wire out 145 with a 10″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig. It was making a big run when a low wire out 95 with a 10″ Glow Blade Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Bubble DW Meat Rig took off. While they were fighting those two the low wire out 85 on the other side of the boat with a 10″ Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Vanilla Ice Big Water Meat Rig  started hammering. That one got off but we landed the other two big Kings. We took a good size Steelhead on the high wire out 145 and missed a fish on a 225 copper with an 8″ Slick Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Bubble Action Fly. After that our action died. Lots of Blue Bubble bites today. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and pull our lead cores and Morgan’s Tackle copper with Dreamweaver Ninja Boards.
