Ludington 7/2 pm and 7/3 am


Recommended Posts

After fighting all road traffic all the way across the state we arrived in ludington around 3pm and were met with heavy southwest winds and a bumpy looking lake. we talked it over for awhile and thought it may get better as the evening progresses so we went out about 1800 and ran to the 01's in 130 f.o.w. Had 6 of us on the boat and all knowledgeable fisherman when it comes to setting lines and what not and turned in to be a disaster as we tangled lines for the first hour. Basically to many chiefs and not enough indians. so after i settled everyone down and got our 3 riggers, 4 dipseys, 2 lead and 2 copper we started picking away at the fish. Trolled all the way to the 05's. 03 line seemed to be the best. 300 copper and 75' down a rigger were most productive rods with the same setup. A dark green spin doctor with a green and yellow strong fly. Also took a few fish on ace hi plugs on the wire 150-180 on a 1 setting. moonshine mongolian beef went as well. Ended the evening 7 for 10, all kings, and couple in the high teens. we pulled line around 10ish.

Next couple of hours inclued heavy drinking to go along with the last few hours and a emergency 5 large pizza delivery for the 6 of us at the marina. Coupled with a few hour kat nap, we hit the water again at 5am, minus 2 who thought sleep would be more important.

We ran back to the same area and found the fish weren't packed in as tight to the bank as the night before (maybe they stayed up to long drinking as well) or maybe we were just of our game but we ended up going 3 for 7, all kings again. Thought they were biting short because every fish that hit the net was off. Blue bubble spin doctor with agua strong fly on the wire out 180 took two dandy kings as one was 20lber by the eye scale. couldn't get my hand around the tail section! Had a good two outings considering the conditions as it was hard to get speed right. and found out that my probe wouldnt work so no idea where the temp break was, just knew it was deep. looking forward to getting back over their asap!
