In The Net

yeah we fish out of ludington and we have caught alot of 20+ pound fish. Just this last weekend we caught a 23# and 2 21#

yeah you had almost an identical weekend as us. We had 9 nice fish on saturday morning also, and it sounds like we were in the same water. Copper and lead was best for us also. Along with a high diver 100 back with mongolian beef. We also went out saturday night and we went 4 for 7 in the same 50-70 fow as the morning. Great job this weekend and i know we shur had alot of fun.

i agree with tray. We fish in ludington and i feel like alot of the charter boat will say stuff over the radio that is false. Not all the charters boats do that but i feel like a far amount of them do.

Plugs were good on our 160 copper and 100 copper and our 6 color.. white plugs were the key just plain white silver hordes.. small and normal size

Yea we went out Saturday morning and night and went 10 for 16 total in relatively the same Wat but we did have plugs goon also

Straight out and then we went on a norths troll all the way to the point

We went 5 for 9.. hit them on spoons, plugs, and meat rigs.. fished 70-130 fow and hit fish from 25-45 down.. and we hit one down 70. 23 pounder and 2 17 pounders.. then 1 laker and smaller king

What worked:

Braided dipsey back 100 with Mongolian beef. 3 for 3

160 copper with small white silver horde 0 for 2

Braided dipsey back 100 with green jeans 0 for 1

6 color with white ace high silver horde 0 for 1. (Snapped the line)

Down rigger set at 40 down with a silver flounder pounder 1 for 1.. ( 23 pounder)

350 copper with black mamba meat rig 1 for 1.. ( screamer 17 pounder)

We ended ended 5 for 9 this morning... one 23 pounder.. then 2 17 pounders. And a laker and smaller king... our other 4 fish we lost were big and we had them on for awhile but they just came unhooked.. mongloian beef and silver horde were good

VHey guys were out fishing right now and we are 3 for 7 in about 2 hours.. 70-130 fow and hitting them on dipsey and copper 20-40 down

Alright we will probably give u a call.. r boat name is in the net

alright we should see you guys out their saturday

we will be fishing in ludington this weekend and we will let you know how we do

yea we will be up their this weekend and the fishing in the morning has been rough. We were up their this last weekend and we fished only the mornings and it was rough. We got 2 fish each day but we had 10 nice fish on we just couldent keep them hooked up. Its nice to hear some guys from this site will be up in Ludington. It seems like most of you guys fish out of holland.

i understand what you guys are saying and we have been using sliders on our SWR and it has worked great so i guess you could go either way

meat rigs have one of our best lures so far this year in ludington and we have been running those at 2.2 to 2.4 at the ball.. We have been running spoons/plugs/flys at the same time and those having been doin just fine also

we have a buddy whi fishes frankfort EVERY day and he has got his 5 fish limit the last few days. He is fishing 120-130 fow and he is hitting fish 50 feet down, but im not sure if its spoons, plugs, or meat rigs...

2.7-3.0 at the ball is pretty fast. We like to be anywhere from 2.0 to 2.5 at the ball, but other than that i dont see anything you did wrong. Sometimes they just wont bite your lures and it doesnt matter what you do.

we have been running a slider on our SWR and its been working great. I would say our SWR catches about 2 to 1 compared to our other rigger

The was not very good this weekend in ludington. Plus we couldn't keep the fish hooked up. We went 4 for 10. #4 size silver J-plugs were good on copper, and happee meal moonshine plug was good. The happee meal spoon was our best spoon. Along with moonshine moonshine. We fished in 100-130 fow and hit fish in about 35-45 down. Couldent get any hits below 50 feet down. We even took some hits 20 down.

What worked best:

165 copper with white silver horde plug

200 copper happee meal plug

rigger down 40 with happee meal spoon

high diver with moonshine moonshine back 90

hea thats the hapee meal and that was are best spoon this weekend

yeah we caught all are fish this weekend in that same fow.. It just seems that this year that they are hitting in groups

yeah we were at the stick.. It was funny because we say about 15 boats turn and run in and we just couldent get the fish in fast enough 2 get out of the storm

yeah we stay at lakeview campground and its nice and cheap

what fow and how far down.. And we have had alot of triples and doubles this year. The fish seem to be sitting in pockets.

yea that was one of the worst storms that we have ever been out on the lake for but were alive so its all good. All the fish we caught had good color except the biggest one. But thats are first really dark fish of the year. I dont know why either because all 20 pounders we have caught this year arent dark yet. It seems early for them to be running the rivers but its possible
