Ludington Area Fishing Reports

Tough bite again today  south of Ludington. We had most of our lines set when a low wire diver out 110 with an 8″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Liquid Sunshine Action Fly took off. The fish wasn’t on long and was gone. A 7 1/2 color core with a Captain’s Choice Natural Glow started ticking out line. It ended up being hooked on a lost board some old copper and an old dead King.  Not the best way to start the day. We lost one on that same plug on a 10 color core and missed another on a 200 copper with a regular size Bloody Nose spoon. Our first live fish came on he chute rigger 90 down with an 8″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Liquid Sunshine Action Fly. We went 1 for 3 on a high wire out first 235 then 285 with a 10″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig. We took a Coho on that same rig on a low wire out 120. We had a Trout Rig on the bottom stacked 30 feet above  with a Super Slim UV Blue Skinny Jeans. We missed a fish on the same spoon earlier in the morning. A 300 coper with a Captain’s Choice Green Splatter Back took a Coho and our last fish of the day came on a Super Slim UV Blue Dolphin stacked 15 feet above a flasher/meat rig. We marked a whole lot of bait today and 1st Mate Corey said the fish he cleaned were packed with some big but mostly Super Slim size alewife. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs & Morgan’s wire on all our wire rods.

Tough day of fishing south of Ludington on the Free Style. First fish came in the dark on a Super Slim Super Bread 65 down on an out down. It took a while before we took our second fish on a 300 copper with an 8″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Liquid Sunshine Action Fly. We put a regular Dreamweaver Raspberry Carbon on our other out down 55 down with a Super Slim Raspberry Carbon free sliding above it. They went twice but we didn’t get either one. We took a big King on a high wire diver out 300 with  10″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig. A good size Coho hit a 8″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Liquid Sunshine Action Fly 100 down on the chute rigger. When it was almost in the net it did that Coho thing and spun off. Our last fish came on a 10″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Pearl Glow Big Water Meat Rig on a 375 copper. We use Dreamweaver premium strips in all our meat rigs, Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods and Morgan’s wire on our wire rods.
