Wow….
Almost august! Things should get very interesting here in Ludington in the next week or so, the next 3 weeks typically give up the biggest, baddest, meanest King salmon of the year!! We still have a handful of morning openings if you are looking to get out on the water.
The fishing as of late has been kind of up and down, our water hasn’t been very stable due to changing wind and the fish are on the move, looking for pods of baitfish and chasing water temps. It’s been a mixed bag of King, Coho, Steelhead and Lake trout as of late. There are good numbers of younger Kings around and big mature fish are available but seem to be pretty scattered. The future looks bright for the next few years. Its still mostly a spoon bite, but I’m guessing that will change very soon. Time to bust out the plugs and meat very soon.
Kings are still hanging around Ludington!!
It’s been a great June here in Ludington, we have had some amazing Chinook fishing this year, plenty of baitfish hanging around and several year classes of hungry King salmon. It’s been one of the best starts to the season I can remember.
For the most part it’s been a spoon bite, standard size stingers have been the best on my boat, most likely due to the smaller baitfish that are in the area. Also pulling a few flasher fly rigs on low divers and deep riggers.
I sure hope that this great fishing continues!!
We do have openings if you’re looking to get on the water this summer, please call or text us at 231-250-9745.
Summer is here!!
The kids are out of school and it’s time to make those summer vacation plans! The fishing in Ludington has been pretty good the last month or so, King salmon are making up the bulk of the catch, with a few cohos, lake trout and steelhead mixed in. The fish look very healthy, and we have seen plenty of bait around, both in the lake and in the harbor. It’s been a mix of flasher-flies or meat rigs on divers and spoons covering most of the other rods. Nows a great time to book a day with us on the lake before summer slips by and our calendar fills up.
