Ludington Fishing Reports

  • August 18 2016

    Maybe you noticed, but for some reason, I lost the last two years of my fishing reports. This problem is being resolved and hopefully they will be replaced soon. But for now, here is the current report.

    Its prime time for Kings in Ludington right now!

    We are catching some really nice fish and pretty decent numbers as well. Sure….we are not catching 20 fish a day, we will likely never see those days again, but 6-10 has been the norm. Pretty typical baits are getting it done, plugs early and late….meat rigs the rest of the time……with a few flashers and flies also getting hammered. Try white or black flashers early, and brighter colors after sun up….chromes and yellows.

    For the most part mornings are fishing better than evenings.

    We still have some morning openings left in the next few weeks and would like to be your charter of choice here in Ludington.

    Another fun summer on the lake has come to an end for me, as I started guiding on the river last week.

    The fishing this summer was great at times and challenging others. I feel it was better than the summer of 2013. With a good mix of salmon and steelhead most of the summer. We had our best catches (numbers wise) early in the summer. May thru mid- June was great! This is very typical most years as the fish come close to shore due to the warming waters and the spawning baitfish…

    I want to thank all of you that have fished with me over the last 10 seasons…it has been fun! I cant wait till next year already. Its never to early to book for next summer.

    Thanks again!!

    After a very long week and tougher fishing than we are used to last week, the fishing has greatly improved this week.

    From Pentwater to Manistee the fishing was great the last few days. Big Kings, Cohos,Steelhead and even a few lake Trout are being caught.

    Meat rigs have been hot !! Rigers, divers, coppers…all loaded with meat rigs are producing.

    If you have not tried the Familiar bite meat strips, you are missing out! Perfect cuts, durable, real herring!

    Ace Hi glo plugs have been going well in the dawn and dusk hours.

    I still have a couple morning openings available if you are looking Aug 26,28

    As well as openings for guided salmon and steelhead trips on West Michigans prime rivers for September through December. I begin guiding on the river September 5
