Ludington Area Fishing Reports

Fished the Ludington Pierheads this morning. Our graph looked good on our first pass across the opening. We took a King on the chute rigger down 20 with a #3 Double Glow Plug in the dark and took another one on a high Slide Diver out 100 with the same plug. We took 3 more Kings, lost one, and 2 Cohos all on #3 Plugs. The action slowed our last couple passes. We were fishing a 2 boat charter with Captain’s Dennis and Justin from Clocked Out Charters. The action slowed for both boats so we pulled lines and headed out to deeper waters. We took a big Steelhead on a high Slide Diver out 110 with a Fireball 2 small Coho and a small Lake Trout. Our group was having a Bachelor Party and it was a fun trip. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper and wire. We pull our lead cores and coppers with Dreamweaver Ninja Boards.

The wave height this morning at the Ludington Bouy was reading 4.6 feet. They weren’t that big outside the pierheads so we set up there. We had all our rods set in the dark when a 3 color core with a # 3 Pinkie Plug took off. Got the skunk out with that King. Just before daylight we had six rods go. Both out downs had Captain’s Choice Natural Glow Cut Plugs went, one at 16 ft and the other at 20. Our high Slide Divers both went with #3 plugs. Our 3, 5 & 7.5 color cores with # 3 glow plugs all took hits. It was an action-packed hour or so. The waves were building and one of our group was under the weather, so they opted to make a short day of it. It was fun while it lasted.
