Ludington Area Fishing Reports

We set up south of Ludington today in 90 feet of water and made one long south troll. Our Fish Hawk showed 45 degrees down 50 feet. Yesterday we had to wait a long time for our first bite. Thankfully not so today. We just got set up when we took a nice King on a 225 copper with a blue glow spoon. Next we took another mature King on an out down set at 55 ft. with a pair of regular Dreamweaver Super Bread Spoons. The King hit the slider. Then we lost a King on a low wire diver out 80 with an 8″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. No more King bites so we put 8″ Spin Doctors with Whirly Gigs on our chute rigger and low wire divers. The Trout bite was good. We left the rest of our rods King fishing and did take another big King on a high wire out 145 with a 10″ Yellow Bikini Bottom Spin Doctor/Yellow Glow Dreamweaver Meat Rig. We also took a small King on a 175 copper with a Super Slim UV Black Dot Starburst. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on our copper rods.

Fished south today setting up in 110 feet of water. It was 46 degrees 55 feet down on our Fish Hawk probe. The picture on our  graph looked pretty good,  but we had to wait a long time for our first bite. We finally hit a fish on a  200 copper with an 8″ White Slick Crush Spin Doctor/Liquid Sunshine Action Fly. It was a big King that took out a lot of line. Then a 300 copper with a 10″ Black Slick Spin Doctor/Black UV Dreamweaver Meat Rig took off with another big King. They got tangled and the one on the 300 broke off. We did boat the king on the 200. We missed a fish and took our other King on a high wire diver out 185 with a 10″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig. We had a bite on a 200 copper with an 8″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig but it didn’t hook up.  The rest of our fish were Lakers. Most of them came on or near the bottom on our chute rigger and wire divers. We had 8″ Lake Trout Candy Spin Doctors with Dreamweaver Whirly Gigs on our wire divers. One was a Blue Chrome with Glow Wings and the other was a Green Chartreuse with Glow Wings. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.
