Ludington Area Fishing Reports

We set up in 95 feet of water. It was 49.6 degrees down 50 feet. The picture on our graph looked good but we had all our lines set before our first bite. It came on a pair of standard Dreamweaver Green Hulks set sat 65 on our starboard out down. The fish hit and was gone before anyone could grab the rod. We reset the rod and it went again. This time we boated a King. The fish took the free slider. Chute rigger down 55 with a Glow Black Ladderback Captain’s Choice Cut Plug took our second King. We missed a fish on a 300 copper with a mag spoon and missed one on a 5 color core with a Yeck Double Orange Crush. Later in the trip we took 2 Lake Trout and a Coho on that 5 color core. Our wire divers were hot. The port high wire out 200 with an 8″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly went several times. Our starboard high wire out 185 with a 10″ Kevin’s Girlfriend Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly went 3 times. The starboard low wire Deeper Diver out 85 went twice with a 10″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig. Port low wire Deeper Diver went 3 times with a 10″ White Crush Green Fish Scale Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat Rig. We took a Lake Trout on the chute rigger 105 down with a 10″ Kevin’s Mistress Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine DW Meat Rig. A big Steelhead hit a mag Dreamweaver Green Skinny Jeans set at 60 on an out down. A nice King took a Michigan Shiner Captains Choice Cut Plug on a 200 copper. We had bites on 200, 225, 250, & 300 coppers. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper and wire. We pull our coppers and lead cores with Dreamweaver Ninja Boards.

We set up in 105 feet of water. It was 47 degrees down 50 feet. First rod to go was the chute rigger down 55 with a Glow Black Ladderback Captain’s Choice Cut Plug. It escaped. Next a high wire diver out 185 with an 8″ Kevin’s Girlfriend/Pickled Sunshine Dreamweaver Meat went. It escaped. Our starboard out down set at 65 with a pair of standard DW Green Hulks went. After a long fight it escaped. Starting to get a little frustrated when a 225 copper with a UV Bloody nose went. We got that one. Our port out down set at 75 took a hit but didn’t hook up. Port high wire out 190 with an 8″ Kevin’s Girlfriend/ Pickled Sunshine DW Meat Rig took a rip but no hook up. Our starboard low wire Deeper Diver out 85 with a 10″ White Slick Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine DW Meat Rig took a King. We boated a Lake Trout later in the trip on that same rig 85 down on the chute rigger.  We took a King on a 7.5 color core with a Yeck Double Orange Crush. Our last two fish both came on high wire divers. One out 175 with an 8″ Dragon Slayer Spin Doctor/Green Mile Meat rig. The other on the 8″ Kevin’s Girlfriend/Pickled Sunshine DW Meat Rig out 200. We had bites on 250, 300, & 350 coppers. We use Dreamweaver Premium Strips in all our meat rigs and Morgan’s Tackle copper and wire. We pull our copper and lead cores with Dreamweaver Ninja Boards.
