Almost May….
I will be waxing my boat this weekend and getting it ready to launch the first week of May. The reports on the lake thus far are encouraging, good reports of silver fish in the south end of the lake. Cohos, kings are getting caught as well as a few browns and lake trout. May in Ludington can offer some of the best fishing of the season, the fish are hungry and ready to feed…now is the time to give us a call and get in on the May and June bite.
Still winter, but my thoughts are starting to turn towards spring and summer fishing on the big waters. Its never to early to get your charters booked and your preferred dates locked in. Summer will be here before you know it.
Bittersweet ending….
Mother nature threw the charter fleet a pretty rough curve ball the last couple weeks of the season, high winds and multiple storm fronts had a big influence on the number of trips we were able to run. High seas are not fun to fish in and the fact that the best fishing was way offshore made it necessary to cancel a bunch of trips for most captains. Customer safety is always our number one priority.
Overall the fishing this season was on the tough side as far as Salmon go…yes we still caught a bunch of them, but the numbers were hard to come by most days, the lake trout and steelhead numbers seemed to be better this year. This should help the fall, winter, spring fisheries on the river.
The big boat is out of the water or the season, and our attention and efforts have turned towards fishing the Pere Marquette and Muskegon rivers for king salmon then Steelhead. If you are interested in hitting the water please don’t hesitate to give us a call, we operate all year.
