Ludington 5/28 am and 5/29 PM


Recommended Posts

VERY SLOW DAY... we went 1 for 4 in 2.5 hours. Stareted at 6 Am and we ran south past the projects turned around and trolled north back to Ludington. Missed our first hit because it must have been a monster. It hit the 10 color lead and didnt stop. It took all the lead and 300 ft of backing with it and we could not stop it. Tighten the drag when their was only 10 foot of backing left and it snapped the line, and that was on a Wolverine spoon... the second hit was the fish we caught. It was caught on a dipsey 80 back with a bloody nose spoon. Then the next hit was missed on a 100 copper 42# with a wolverine NBK spoon. The last hit was missed on a 200 blood run copper 32#. With a red flounder pounder. Then the fog rolled in and we decided to end after we almost got hit by the Badger. SCARY!!!! Tournament in pentwater sounded like it was really slow and everone in ludington had 0 or 1 fish.

Sunday night was better than Saturday. We went 3 for 4. 1st fish was caught on 200 32# blood run copper with a red flounder pounder. didnt catch anything after that until dark and we finally decided to put the half core out. We could only run 6 rods so we werent sure exactly what to put out. Not putting the half core out earlier was a mistake because it took 2 fish in the last 30 minutes of fishing. It had a shelly snacker on it. The missed fish was on a wire diver that I moved up to 35 back. It had a moonshine bloodynose on it and the fish snapped the line. The fish were really high in the water column and we didnt have anything high until dark.

Saturday fish were caught in 60 fow and on sunday they were caught in 40 fow. Fishing sounded slow from reports we heard. Saw some people sunday night at the dock that got skunked. The fishing will only get better!!!!

We were visiting friends at the muni dock and talked to a guy and his wife at the cleaning station with a 10 fish limit. Got 'em straight out by the nets with meat. Beautiful kings 8-16#.

They almost got T boned by an idiot going way too fast in the fog. Cut his planer board off and just kept going. Unbelieveable.

That first big fish you thought you lost may have been caught up in the fishing nets in that area. Check the LACA, Ludington Area Charterboat Assoc. website for details and coordinates on locations for future reference or fish-ludington.com also may have them now. The Pentwater Memorial Tourney was another success for the 27th consecutive year last weekend. Thanks for the report. Careful in the fog, there was alot Sat & Sun.

haha good question... No it was really foggy so we could not see him at all so we had no idea where he was and we forgot that he came out a 9 am.. But when he blew his horn we figured out what where he was and got out of their. We couldent see the badger at all!!!! It wasnt that close either but it was scary because he just kinda popped out of the fog.
