It looks like we have turned the corner on the big water!

Weekend Openings

Finally some south winds in Ludington the past few days and the fishing picked up. (but today the wind is from the north….) Good catches of Lake trout, Salmon and Steelhead were had this weekend. The best fishing was from Ludington north to beyond the point. 100-200′. Most fish were taken in the top 80′. Good catches of mixed bag fishing more to the south of Ludington.

Hot baits were mostly meat rigs for the Kings, various flashers in chromes and greens, UV taped flashers are working well, UV meat rigs and green meat rigs were the best. I am running the new Familiar bite herring strips. Awesome strips, perfect cuts. If you fish meat, these are the ones to run. www.familiarbite.com

If you are looking for the Familiar Bite Herring strips, you can get them at Captain Chucks in Ludington, and The Outdoorsman Pro Shop in Jenison.

Steelhead are still coming up high in the water column on orange spoons.

Lake trout fishing deep with dodgers rigged with spin glo’s, small flies, and wobble glo’s.
