Ludington Area Fishing Reports

Went out deep today setting up in 200 feet of water a little south of Ludington. We hit 5 fish early but they wouldn’t stay hooked. The rattled our riggers and zipped out line off our coppers. The only one that was on for a while was a Steelhead on a 200 copper with a UV Black Dot Super Slim Starburst and it got off. That bait ended up taking a Laker and 3 Steelhead on a 200 & 250 copper. Our luck changed a little later in the morning and we got some good hookups. Our chute rigger down 75 with a UV Blue Dolphin Super Slim free sliding above a mag Green Dolphin went 3 times and the Super Slim took our biggest Steelhead, pictured below , of the trip. We only had one diver bite. We took a Coho on an 8″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly out 235 on a high wire diver. One of our out downs went twice with a Super Slim Green Jeans free sliding above a regular DW Green Skinny Jeans. We basically did a east west troll between 200 & 440 feet of water. We use Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.  I’m taking some time off to go bear hunting so no reports for a while. Good luck fishing!

 

After yesterdays action we were looking more of the same today, but it didn’t happen. It was a slow morning for us . We had 9 bites and put 6 of them in he boat. We had a regular Dreamweaver EVM spoon on a 250 copper go twice. We lost a hard fighting fish on it and landed a smaller Steelhead. We took a Steelhead on a Lemon Lime Super Slim 55 down on an out down and caught a King on a prototype Super Slim 65 down on the other out down. We boated a Steelhead and missed a fish on a UV Blue Dolphin Super Slim free sliding above a mag Dolphin. Our last fish of the morning, pictured above, came on a 250 copper with a regular Fuzzy Bear Frozen Veggie. We didn’t have any diver bites today. We use Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.
