Ludington Sport fishing Charters

  • July 11 2018

    Almost what some consider “Prime Time”….

     

    Its mid July and its time for the Adult Kings to start moving closer to their spawning rivers and put the feed bag on before the big run. The weather this summer hasn’t made it easy most days to stay on the Kings, the water has been moving back and forth like a washing machine. We really need a steady wind pattern to set up and let the water stratify to stack the fish up. With that said….the fishing has still been pretty good most days. Its been a mix of Salmon, Steelhead and Lake trout most days, We should really see the Salmon numbers go up in the coming weeks.

     

    Still plenty of open dates, if you are looking for a fun fishing charter please give us a call!!

    July is here and the Hot temps and strong south winds should….hopefully stack up the water on Michigan’s west coast and with it the mature Kings. June is now behind us and the fishing is typically hit and miss, based on winds and weather patterns. This past June was pretty typical, a few very good days and some a bit on the slower side. But overall we got into plenty of fish and had a blast on the water with our guests.

    We are really looking forward to the next couple months, as these typically prove to be the best for huge fish in our area. Hopefully we get into the right weather patterns and wind directions to set up the lake and hold the fish on our side of the lake.

    June was mostly a spoon game out there, but look for meat rigs and flashers to take center stage from here on out, epically as the fish move deeper to beat the heat. White and green flashers will always perform well as well as UV and chrome flashers on the sunny days. If you are not running the Familiar Bite herring strips you are not running the best meat out there, perfect had cut strips that close the deal with those big kings!!

    Give us a call, text or email to get on the water with us this summer.

    More Kings!!!

    The fishing is still pretty good in Ludington, Chinook salmon are making up the bulk of the catch mixed in with a few steelhead and Lake trout. Now is a great time to book your fishing charter. Why wait till later in the summer? The fishing is great right now….will that change…possibly.

    The key has been watching the lake surface temps and following the warmer water.

    Its been mostly a spoon bite for the most part and the fish are scattered up and down the water column. Spoon colors seem to change daily. Meat rigs and well as flashers and flies are taking a few fish as well.

    Summer charters make great fathers day as well as graduation gifts!!
