Ludington Area Fishing Reports

Tough day today for us. We set up southwest of Ludington this morning in 210 feet of water. It was rougher than we expected and it was hard to get a good troll. We fished for quite a while on an out troll without a bite. We turned and made an in troll and finally took a Steelhead on a 7.5 color core with a Yeck Fireball. While fighting that fish we hit another one on a 300 copper with a Super Slim Green Skinny Jeans. It got off. We were marking a lot of bait so we continued on the in troll for another half mile without another hit. We turned back out and landed a double on a 7.5 color core and a 10 color core both with Yeck Fireballs. We took another Steelhead 85 down on the chute rigger with a pair of Super Slim Super Breads. It took the main bait. We lost a Steelhead on a Slide Diver out 150 with a Super Slim Fireball and lost another one on a Yeck Jared 150 out on a high wire diver. Our last fish on was a Steelhead. It hit a Dreamweaver Spotted Blue Dolphin 65 down on an out down. It was almost in the net when it did a cartwheel and was gone. It managed to spin the hook off the spilt ring, bummer. We pull our lead core and Morgan’s Tackle copper with Dreamweaver Ninja Boards.

We fished straight out and a little south of Ludington today setting up in 200 feet of water on a 220 heading. We hit a King right away on a high diver out 185 with a DW Green Skinny Jeans and boated it. We hit 2 fish on an out down set at 85 with a pair of DW Super Bread spoons, a Laker & a King. We took 2 fish on a low wire diver out 95 with a mag Fuzzy Bear Green Skinny Jeans. We took a Steelhead and a King on a 10 color core with a Yeck Fireball and a big Steelhead on a Yeck Wart Frog 65 down on an out down. We took a small King on a DW Blue Dolphin free sliding above a mag Dreamweaver Blue Dolphin 95 down on the chute rigger. A DW Rasta Goose went twice on a 200 copper but we only got one of them. We took a King on a DW Green Skinny Jeans 75 down on an out down. This is the first trip I can remember that we didn’t run any Spin Doctors, all spoons today. We pull our lead core and Morgan’s Tackle copper with Dreamweaver Ninja Boards.
