Ludington Area Fishing Reports

We fished south today setting up in 110 feet of water. First fish came on a 200 copper with a Natural Glow Captains Choice Cut Plug. It was a good size King. That 200 went one more time but we missed that one. A pair of regular size DW Blue Skinny Jeans on an out down set at 50 feet went twice. Our best rod was a high wire diver out 300 with a 10″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig. An 8″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly stacked with a mag Fuzzy Bear Modified Blue Dolphin 110 down on an out down went twice. One hit the flasher/fly and the other the spoon. Our biggest King came on a 300 copper with an 8″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. We took a King on a mag glow spoon on a 350 copper and another King on our Trout rig. an 8″ Chrome Spin Doctor/Blue Chrome WhirlyGig with glow wings.  The top picture was from yesterdays charter. I attended a funeral out of town and Capt. Russ Soper  and 1st mate Corey did a fine job putting our charter on the fish. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods and Morgan’s wire on all our wire rods.    

We really had to work for our catch today. We went north and set up in 120 feet of water. Got all our rods set in the dark. It starting getting light and no bites. Full daylight, 15 rods in the water and still no bites. We changed several baits, moved out deeper, moved in shallower and could not get a bite. We talked to a friend fishing south and they were having good action. So we pulled lines and ran south. We took 2 fish on a high wire with  a 10″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig. We hit 2 and boated 1 on a 300 copper with an 8″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly and took a Steelhead on a 10″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine DW Meat Rig on a 300 copper. Our Laker came on an 8″ Chrome Spin Doctor/Blue Chrome/WhirlyGig with glow wings fished on the bottom. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle Copper on our copper rods and Morgan’s wire on our wire divers.
