    Lake Michigan Fishing Report – Ludington

    June is coming to a close, and we’re heading into what many anglers consider the prime months of the Lake Michigan season in Ludington. Salmon numbers will continue to build throughout July and August, and offshore fishing for steelhead and coho should really start to heat up. The best stretch of the big-water season is here.

    Early mornings are typically the most productive for king salmon, with coho and steelhead becoming more active as the sun climbs higher. Glow spoons have been producing well during the low-light hours, and we’re transitioning into prime flasher-and-fly season. It’s also time to start running meat rigs and plugs as mature kings become more aggressive.

    If you’ve been thinking about getting out on the lake, now is the time to reserve your trip. Our calendar is filling quickly, and the next eight weeks are shaping up to be one of our busiest stretches of the season. If you have any questions or would like to check availability, don’t hesitate to reach out. We look forward to getting you on the water for some incredible Lake Michigan salmon fishing.

    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!!
