Summer is flying by as usual! The fishing in Ludington has all about location. One thing for sure it seems like this year has been much windier than normal. We have been moving and rescheduling a lot of trips due to winds. One the nicer days that we have been out the fishing has been decent for the most part. Offshore fishing has been producing steelhead, lake trout, cohos and a few immature kings.
Short coppers and lead cores with orange spoons have been the most consistent, though divers with flashers and flies have taken lake trout through out the charter. The mature kings are starting to show up, though not in big numbers. Look for this to change in the next week or two.
If you are looking to get into the big kings now is the time to book your charter before all the open dates are gone.
The Hattrick has been in for a few weeks now, and the fishing in Ludington has been great. Mostly lake trout until a few days ago when our spring Kings showed up. We are catching some really nice 8-12lb Lakers and some very healthy kings pushing 20 plus pounds. There have been several over 30 pounds caught out of west Michigan ports already tis summer.
For Lakers…its been spin-doctor’s and spin n glows on the bottom…For kings….a good mix of flashers and flies as well as spoons.
Give us a call to get in on the action!!!!
Almost time to switch gears
I still have about a 5 weeks to go until I’m finished up on the river and switch gears towards the big waters…I’m really looking forward to fishing lake Michigan this year…..And I hope to see many of my great clients and friends back on the boat.
Now is a great time to reach out and book your summer trips…May and June are 2 months that offer great fishing and are often overlooked. Give us a call and get your trips booked.
