Heading into prime time!!
Its that time of year when the rules start to change for our King salmon as they begin to stage for their fall spawning run. Water temps mean a little less, and their appetites start to change as they become more aggressive at times and more moody at others. The best King bites are at first and last light, they can be short but sweet with multiple hookups and controlled or not so controlled chaos on the boat. The fish are running large and the waters are cool, making the fish hard to handle at the back of the boat at times. We are still seeing a good number of coho, steelhead and a few lake trout mixing in as well…..in short the fishing has been good and its time to lock in your charter to take advantage of this seasons prime fishing.
Hot baits have been black flashers with moo moo meat rigs first thing, then chrome based flashers with brighter colors with either meat rigs or green crinkle flies.
My best plug has been a ace high green splatter back, best spoons have been oranges up high, and glows or dolphin patterns deeper in the water column.
Give us a call or text to get more info or to lock in a charter with us.
The King has returned!!
Just in time for the big Ludington tournaments the KING has returned!!! The numbers started out slow last week but seemed to get better daily, with decent King salmon fishing now from Big Sable point south to Little Sable point. Steelhead, Coho’s and Lake Trout are also showing up in the catch. Basically the fishing is pretty good most days. The Kings are running on the large size as well…..we’ve recently boated a few over 23 pounds. if you’ve been waiting for the Salmon fishing to get better this summer, that time is now, dates are filling in so give us a call to get your shot at a big KING salmon.
Hot baits have been either flies or meat rigs behind flashers or spin doctors with a chrome base, UV tapes are helping as well. Bait your meat rigs with Familiar bite hatting strips for the most consistent roll.
Hot spoon colors have been oranges in the top 40′ blues and greens below that, moonshines deep down and early and late.
July already??
AM trips available on July 1 and 4 th….give us a call the weather looks awesome for the weekend.
June is just about over and some of the best fishing in our are will be happening very soon. June is generally a month where we can see some major peaks and valleys in the fishing, at times can be great…others the fish scatter and we have to hunt them down and try to stay on them or even stay ahead of them as the water temps change. July usually means consistent weather, light winds and stable water, this allows the thermocline to set up and stratify the water, warm water can help eliminate areas of the lake, as fish seek out cooler temps. The huge variable is that if the bait is in warm water, the fish will move into those areas to feed. Bring on July!!!
Hot baits have been
Various dodgers and spin n glo’s, and larger wobble glow’s, silver cowbells and spin n glo’s off downriggers on or near the bottom, for lake trout.
Meat rigs and flashers and green or mirage flies are taking Coho’s and the occasional King Salmon
Moonshine spoons on deep coppers have been the best for a mix of fish after the sun gets up.
Give us a call, the weather looks awesome this coming weekend…lets fish!
