Ludington Area Fishing Reports

We had a 2 boat charter today with Lie-A-Lot Charters. Both boats fished south of Ludington working between 70 and 100 feet of water. The action was steady. Our primary target species was Lake Trout. We took our Lakers running our divers and riggers on or near the bottom. We were using both dodgers and Chrome 8″ Spin Doctors with various Spin-N-Glos behind them. Today Spin Doctors took more fish than the dodgers. We ran 3, 5, 7.5 & 10 color cores hoping to pick up a big King or Steelhead. We had a Capt. Gary UV Super Slim on one of our 3 color cores and took 2 nice Steelhead on it. We caught a small throw back Coho and a small king on our other 3  color with a Tangerine Super Slim. Our crew had  fun fighting and landing these fish. We expect the action to hold up for a while, so if you would like to sample our June fishery in Ludington give us a call and we will hook you up.

We fished north of Ludington today. We figured the Lakers would be gone from our hot spot due to the warm water the southwest wind blew in. We took it down the Bank and didn’t have a bite until we got to the Point. We had an out down set with a trout rig on it that took a small throw back Laker. We took a small king on a 7.5 color core. We hit our first big fish on a high wire diver out 180 with a 10″ White Crush Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig. It ripped out some wire and was gone. We hit another big King on the same rig and boated that one. It weighed right at 14 lbs.When we went to change some of our cores and coppers we found  small Kings on several of them. We took a medium size King on a low wire diver out 150 with a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Green Mile Big Water Meat Rig. We didn’t take another big fish until we were pulling lines and hit the 14.5 lb. King pictured left on the same low wire with the Kevin’s Girlfriend/Green Mile rig. We took our fish between 130 & 150 feet of water north of the Point. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs.
