Ludington Area Fishing Reports

Some pictures from our trip today. Two young guys had a good time fighting some big ones. Regular fishing reports will resume Sunday night after the Ludington Offshore Classic.

Awesome bite again this morning. Surface temp was 65.4 and it was 54.8 down 50 ft. on our Fish Hawk. Got most of our boards set when the port out down set at 50 fired with a pair of DW Sodas. Next was the starboard out down set at 55 with a pair of Super Slim Sodas. Both riggers went several times. We had the top bait free sliding, and the Kings were hitting both baits. We took 2 Kings on the chute rigger set at 65 and a Lake trout when it was set at 85. All our boards went. Starboard 7.5 took a Coho. Port 7.5 with a Fireball took a King. Starboard 10 color core took a King on a Natural Glow Captain’s Choice Mini Cut Plug. Port 10 color took a Steelhead on a UV Mixed Veggie. Starboard 225 copper took a King on a custom Warrior spoon. Starboard 250 copper took a King on a DW Diet Soda and port 250 took a King on a standard White Back Green Glow spoon. With all the rigger bites it was hard to get our wire divers set. Starboard high wire diver out 235 with an 8″ White Crush Green Dot Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly went once. Port low wire diver with an 8″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly went twice out 100 and once out 135. Our last fish came on the starboard low diver out 135 with an 8″ Live Wire Flip Fin Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly with Lime Green Beads. Our charter was a family with two young children. They all did a great job on the rods and I’m pretty sure will sleep well tonight. We use Morgan’s Tackle copper and wire, Dreamweaver Deeper Divers, Dreamweaver Ninja Boards, and Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs.
