The fishing is much improved !!
Open charters this week and this coming Sunday July 26 th
Its amazing what several days of consistent winds from the south- southwest direction can do for the fishing. The water is finally warming up and the kings and bait are sticking around for the time being. Cross your fingers we don’t get a big north or east blow, because this will shuffle the fish around once again.
For the most part we have been targeting the kings with meat rigs, mostly green and UV teasers and bait heads. The flasher colors have been changing daily, glows in the am and brighter colors after sun up. Big flashers with pickled sunshine flies have been good fished deep off riggers and 300 – 400′ coppers.
Steelhead have been coming up high on orange and gold spoons.
If you fish meat, these are the ones to run. www.familiarbite.com
If you are looking for the Familiar Bite Herring strips, you can get them at Captain Chucks in Ludington, and The Outdoorsman Pro Shop in Jenison.
It looks like we have turned the corner on the big water!
Weekend Openings
Finally some south winds in Ludington the past few days and the fishing picked up. (but today the wind is from the north….) Good catches of Lake trout, Salmon and Steelhead were had this weekend. The best fishing was from Ludington north to beyond the point. 100-200′. Most fish were taken in the top 80′. Good catches of mixed bag fishing more to the south of Ludington.
Hot baits were mostly meat rigs for the Kings, various flashers in chromes and greens, UV taped flashers are working well, UV meat rigs and green meat rigs were the best. I am running the new Familiar bite herring strips. Awesome strips, perfect cuts. If you fish meat, these are the ones to run. www.familiarbite.com
If you are looking for the Familiar Bite Herring strips, you can get them at Captain Chucks in Ludington, and The Outdoorsman Pro Shop in Jenison.
Steelhead are still coming up high in the water column on orange spoons.
Lake trout fishing deep with dodgers rigged with spin glo’s, small flies, and wobble glo’s.
We have weekend openings!
Typical June fishing in Ludington right now. Mixed bag,fish high and cover water.
June is usually a challenging month in Ludington, typically the best fishing is offshore. This has been true for the most part this year as well. Watching the surface temp maps and looking for the colder water is the key. There is still a mix of steelhead,kings and lake trout in the catch. Lakers can also be targeted in closer by fishing the bottom.
Steelhead, mostly orange spoons fished high in the water column.
Kings, glow spoons early and late. Flashers and meat rigs with familiar bite herring strips. Taking a few on spin doctors and flies.
Lake trout…all of the above and ghost,white and chrome dodgers with spin and glows and peanuts.
