Ludington Area Fishing Reports

We fished north today setting up just south of Big Sable Point in 130 feet of water. We hit fish right away on our out downs. One had a pair of Super Slim Super Breads set at 55 ft. and the other a pair of SS Blue Skinny Jeans. They were both small Kings. We had trouble getting bigger fish to bite today. We marked plenty of bait and saw some nice marks on our graph but the larger fish didn’t like what we were offering, and we offered plenty of baits for them to choose from. We had a big one on for a second or two on a 200 copper with a regular Bloody Nose and finally took a nice King on a high wire diver out 285 with a mag Fuzzy Bear Frozen Veggie. We boated 3 Trout bouncing bottom on our chute rigger with an 8″ Chrome Spin Doctor/Blue Chrome Glow Wing Whirly Gig. Two were keepers and one was just shy of 15 inches. We took a couple more small Kings on the out down with the SS Blue Skinny Jeans and a few more on our coppers. No flasher bites today.

We fished north today setting up south of the point in 120 feet of water. We hit a small King right away on an out down set at 55 ft. with a pair of Super Slim Super Breads. We boated another small King & lost a big one on that same rod. We took the King pictured below on a 175 copper with a mag Bloody Nose and lost a nice one on it too. A Super Slim Green Skinny Jeans on a 225 copper went 4 times. We took 2 small Kings a 3 year old King and a Laker on it. We boated a Trout and lost a King on an 8″ Blue Bubble Spin Doctor/Blue Bubble Action Fly out 210 on a high wire diver. We marked the most bait I’ve seen so far this year between 70 and 120 feet of water by the Point. We had good early action but the last hour or so was slow. We use Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.
