    Ludington Last Week

    in Michigan Waters Fishing Reports - Salmon and Trout

    Posted

    I spent last week in Ludington. Fishing is decent but the number of kings are down.  There are some huge kings from 20 to 30lbs + caught every day.   Here is a report of our last 3 days.  Friday 8-10 was our best action of the weekend.   We went offshore off the project working 350 to 540FOW. We had double digit hits but lost quite a few and landed 7.  It was a mix of steelhead, coho's kings and Lk trout.   The fish were coming from 40 to 70ft deep.  We went back that area on Saturday and only had 8 bites but we landed 7 of them.  On Sunday, we decided to go north and fish off the point but our spread on a first troll north was not good and we did not lift a rod.   Most other boats hit 1-5 kings that day.   That area was producing some nice kings in the first hour but got really tough after sunrise for the boats fishing there earlier that week.  Once the sun got up, we pulled lines and ran offshore off the point to the 39 line hoping to find some action like we had south.  We trolled southwest from there to the 45's out and got 2 kings, one 20lbs+ and the other much smaller.   That offshore water to the north did not hold the fish the south waters did earlier that week.    We got a 20lb+ king everyday offshore so that is a good sign for the coming weeks.   Our best rigs offshore were a 150 copper with a DW double orange crush.   225 copper with a DW super slim superbread.  A 300 copper with a yeck blue holographic dolphin.   A low diver  out 110 ft with a 10inch DW Kevins girlfriend spin doctor and green gasoline meat rig.   A high diver out 200 ft with a 8in Kevins girlfriend and prickled sunshine fly.  Riggers at 55 with a moonshine sarge, at 50 feet with a mag big jon cosmos spoon with a regular cosmos stacked 10 feet above it both went a few times.    A DW super slim double orange crush as a free slider on a 70 ft rigger was also good. We only fished the morning and did not fish evenings.  Good luck!

    in Michigan Waters Fishing Reports - Walleye

    Posted

    Great fishing the last 2 days, yesterday we fished 21 to 23 fow in Brest Bay and got our limit of 18 walleyes in 2.5hrs. Got about that many junk fish and shorts too. It was fast action, diver disks and small spoons 50 to 60ft back and off riggers near the bottom.  Today we wanted bigger fish so we went to Ohio waters in 28 to 29 fow and ran one side with thundersticks 100 back and used salmon spoons off the rigger with a moonshine sarge and a yeck goldilocks. They took our biggest fish. Ran diver disks/spoons 80, 90, 100 back on the other side and everything got bit. Thundersticks took bigger fish too. We got 28 walleyes, sorted 10 and kept 18 bigger ones in 2.5 hours. We had less junk fish and shorts. These are the good old days right now.
