Ludington Area Fishing Reports

We went back north again this morning setting up off the Bank and trolling north. We started hitting fish right away. Our wire divers with 10″ Spin Doctors and DW meat rigs were our hottest rods. The 10″ White Atommic Killer/Green Moo Dreamweaver meat rig out 135 on a high wire was our best rig. It took several Kings. A 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine DW meat rig out 85 on a low wire took a couple Kings and a 10″ Yellow Bikini Bottom/Green Gasoline Dreamweaver meat rig out 110 on a high wire was good too. One of our bigger Kings came on an 8″ Green Atommic Killer Spin Doctor/Green Gasoline DW meat rig on a 225 copper.  We took two of our smaller Kings on a 7.5 color core on a SS Rasta Goose spoon. An 11″ Black DW Paddle down 70 on the chute rigger was good for Trout. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.

We fish an afternoon trip today. We heard some boats did good in the morning up north so we headed up there. The wind had picked up and it was pretty rough. Rougher than I expected. My initial plan was to set up south of the Point and troll north but it was too rough for that. We set up north of the Point and made a down wind troll. We hit our first fish on a high wire diver out 135 with a 10″ Atommic Green Chrome Killer Spin Doctor/Green Gasoline Dreamweaver meat rig. It took out a lot of wire and was putting up quite a fight. Then another King hit a Super Slim Rasta Goose free sliding above a DW Rasta Goose 35 down on an out down. One of our 7.5 color cores went with a SS Rasta Goose, a triple. With some teamwork we managed to get all three in the boat. We took another Trout on an 11″ Black Dreamweaver Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly 70 down on the chute rigger. We took another King on a 10″ Yellow Bikini Bottom Spin Doctor/Green Gasoline DW meat rig and two more on a low wire diver out 95 with a 10 ” Netminder UV Showtime Spin Doctor/Blue UV Dreamweaver meat rig. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.
