Ludington Area Fishing Reports

We have been fishing north the last two days between 110 and 180 feet of water (fow) . The morning bite has been good, and for us the afternoon bite yesterday was late. Our most consistent rod has been a high wire diver out 200 ft. with a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Froggie Big Water Meat Rig. That same setup took a big King on a 200 copper today. A 10″ White Crush Mountain Dew Spin Doctor/Moo Moo Big Water Meat Rig Meat Rig has been good on a 300 copper. Yesterday plugs were working on our 8 & 10 color cores, but not today. An 11″ White Crush Dreamweaver Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly down 100 ft. on our chute rigger went 4 times. We had 85 down today because the water was a little colder and it went once.  We didn’t have any spoon bites today. These fish are BIG. Most of todays catch was over 20 lbs. Our biggest, 25.65 lbs., came on a low wire diver out 125 ft. with a 10″ Chrome Frog Spin Doctor/Chrome Frog DW Meat Rig. We use Erie Dearie Meat on all our meat rigs.

We fished north today and the fishing was good early. First 2 rods to go were a 5 & 7 color cores with plugs. The Dreamweaver Natural Glow Captains Choice Cut Plug was our top plug again this morning. Our wire divers took most of fish today. 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctors with Green Mile & Froggie Big Water Meat Rigs were on  our high wires and one low wire. A Dark Green White Crush 10″ Spin Doctor /Froggie Big Water Rig was on the other low wire. The highs were out 150 & 135 ft. and the lows were out 85 & 70 ft. The north troll was best for us. We never had a bite on our south troll. After the early bite we only took one more fish, a big Coho 69 down on a rigger on an 11″ Green Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. We use Erie Dearie Meat on all our meat rigs.
