We fished a 5 hour trip this morning at the Ludington pierheads. Surface temp was 61 degrees and it was 59 down 20 feet on our Fish Hawk. We hit a fish in the dark on a low Slide Diver out 38 with a Natural Glow Captain’s Choice Cut Plug. It wasn’t on long, and it was gone. We took our first King on a 3 color core with a #3 Pinkie Plug. Fist Mate Abe had a # 3 Dreamweaver Trip Z diver out 135 with a standard glow spoon out the back of the boat and we doubled up when that went. It was another King.
We didn’t have the action we had yesterday. Some fish were being taken inside the harbor so we made the rounds in there for few a few passes. We took a small King on an out down set at 20 with a standard glow spoon and lost a big fish on a 3 color core with a #3 Chrome J Plug. We changed a lot of baits but couldn’t coax another bite. The boys did a great job landing the double header. We use Morgan’s Tackle copper and wire and pull our lead cores and coppers with Dreamweaver Ninja Boards.

Fished the Ludington pierheads this morning on a 5 hour trip. The waves were bigger than predicted, but still very fishable. We took our first fish on a 3 color core with a #3 Pinkie plug. While the young man was fighting it a low Slide Diver out 35 with a Natural Glow Captain’s Choice Cut Plug took off. His brother got that one. We missed a fish on the 3 color with the Pinkie.
We lost a big fish on a 2 color core with a standard Green Hulk. We took a King on that same spoon 20 down on a rigger and took a Coho on an orange glow spoon stacked 5 feet above it. The 3 color with the Pinkie went again and we boated a nice King on it. We took another King on a 5 color core with a # 3 Gray Ghost plug. Our crew is from Kentucky. They had fun on their first trip to Ludington and are looking forward to fishing with us again tomorrow.
