Ludington Area Fishing Reports

Good action up north this morning. We got into some big Kings and they were full of fight. The 1st big King pictured above weighed 26.72 lbs. and came on a low wire diver out 75 with a 10″ Chrome Killer Spin Doctor/Green Death Big Water Meat Rig. That set up was our hot combo today. We took 2 other Kings on it and missed another one. A 11″ Green Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly went twice on an out down set at 60 feet. We didn’t have any plug or spoon bites today. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.

We fished north today. The temp break was at 55 feet. We caught most of our fish between 120 and 90 feet of water. We had 2 bites on a 10″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Green Mirage Strong Fly on a low wire out 85 feet. We had a big fish break us off when it took a regular DW Green Skinny Jeans on a stack and run under 2 riggers and come up on the other side of the boat. We took a Steelhead on a 175 copper with a 8′ Chrome Killer Spin Doctor/Green Moo Dreamweaver Meat Rig. We lost a good fish on a 7.5 color core with an 8″ Chrome UV Crush Yellow Dot Spin Doctor/UV ON Ice Big Water Meat Rig. Our hot rig was a 10″ Custom Chrome Spin Doctor/Green Death Big Water Meat Rig. First Mate Austin Tomasek had it on his high wire diver set at 130 ft. It went 4 times and took the 30.2 lb.  40″Master Angler King Salmon pictured left. That fish put up one heck of a fight. It ran out a 1000 ft. of wire on it’s initial run. We thought it was a foul hooked fish until it finally got close to the boat and we could see just how big it was. Tom F. was one happy angler and is having his trophy mounted by Riverside Taxidermy. The custom Spin Doctor and Green Death Meat Rig are pictured below. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper on all our copper rods.
