Ludington Area Fishing Reports

The wind was blowing pretty hard this morning form the ssw.  Our crew wanted to go so we headed north setting up just off the bank. The water had warmed some from yesterday so we didn’t run any 5 or 8 color cores. We put plugs on a 10 color core, 150 & 200 coppers with Dreamweaver Lucky Charms an Green Splatter Back Cut Plugs. They all went during the morning bite. We missed a nice fish 70 down on an out down with a pair of DW Beefeater spoons and took a King 50 down on another Green Splatter Back cut plug. Those were our only 2 rigger bites all day. Our wire divers took most of our bites. Once again it was the 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor with Froggie and Green Mile Big Water Meat Rigs on our high wires coming through for us. We had one out 155 ft. and the other out 115 ft. We took our biggest fish of the season today a 26.69 pounder on one of the high wires.We use Erie Dearie Meat on all our meat rigs.

Fished up north again today between 70 & 90 feet of water (fow). There was heavy boat traffic. We got boxed in and couldn’t get out until we were well north of the Point. Our morning bite was decent, 8 bites – 4 fish. Six of those bite came on plugs on 5 & 8 color cores. Our best plug was a Dreamweaver Lucky Charm Captain’s Choice Cut Plug and the Green Splatter Back Cut Plug was a close second. We had 3 diver bites today, 2 on a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Froggie Big Water Meat Rig out 125 on a high wire and 1 on a 10″ Showtime Spin Doctor/Blue Moo Big Water Rig out 70 on a low wire. Only 1 rigger bite, that was on an 11″ White Crush Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly down 65 on the chute rigger. We only had a few bites after the morning flurry and finished 6 for 11.
