Return of the King!!!
Although we are not seeing huge numbers….or even big numbers of Kings around, we are catching some really really nice fish! This week we have boated kings that weighed in at 22-24.5 lbs. Some boats report Kings to almost 30lbs. Hopefully the numbers of Salmon increase in the coming days and weeks. Some big Lake Trout as well as the occasional Coho and steelhead are being taken as well.
I have been running mostly meat rigs loaded with the new Familiar Bite Herring strips. The new strips are even better than those before. I highly recommend you grab a few packs and try them out.
Flashers and flies are taking a few fish as well. Plugs as well.
Give us a call to hit the water this summer.
Summer silver !
We are finally seeing better numbers of King and Coho salmon, for the better part of the last 2 months we had to sit back and watch as the Wisconsin fishing fleet flooded fishing reports with photos of huge catches of BIG King salmon, well finally we are seeing more bait and many many more salmon in our waters. This past weekend was the Ludington tournament and there were some big Kings boated, many fish topping 24-28 lbs. We are also seeing better numbers of Coho, the lake trout are still around and a steelhead here and there.
The kings are preferring the typical fare, flashers and meatrigs and flashers and flies.
If you are looking for a shot to get on the lake and wrestle with a big salmon, give us a call. We still have plenty of openings, even a few weekend openings.
Summer seems to be flying by !!
Its now the first week of July and we are should see our King salmon fishery take off in full force any day now, the Chinook numbers on the Wisconsin shoreline have been unreal, with both numbers of fish as well as very healthy fish topping out at over 30lbs. This past weekend we did see a few big kings in the catches off the ports of Ludington and Manistee. Early this week there were kings in the upper 20’s to low 30’s caught off west Michigan ports. We should see some master angler class fish this year in King, Coho and Steelhead this summer.
The fishing in Ludington is still in a June pattern for the most part, either nearshore for a mixed bag of Lake trout with a few Steelhead and Salmon mixed in, or offshore hunting for thermal breaks and targeting Steelhead for the most part.
Best rigs have been Silver dodgers with spin and glo’s or small flies for the lake trout or high lines fished near the surface with short coppers or leadcore with small to medium sized spoons. Looking for a big king?? Load up with meat rigs baited with the Familiar bite herring strips.
