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.
Give us a call to lock in a trip with us!
Summer Fun !!!
Its been a pretty typical June here in Ludington, for the most part its been an offshore fishery with Steelhead and suspended lake trout making up the majority of the catch. With the odd Coho salmon mixing in here and there. Trolling fast with surface lines loaded with orange spoons such a mini streaks in Jerry Lee, orange chilly willys, and yeck fire balls have been the best. Stinger dbl orange crush on a gold blank has had its moments as well.
Nearshore lake trout fishing has been good as well. These fish like cooler water on the bottom and can be tough to locate, but when you do they seem to be there in good numbers. Dodgers trailing small flies, spin and glos are the top menu items.
Great reports of King salmon on the Wisconsin shoreline have been coming in regularly, I’m looking forward to these fish making their way to the Michigan shoreline soon. Many fish weighing in at 25 plus pounds.
We still have plenty of open charters both weekend and weekday trips are available.
