Just going through the channel. Will post soon!

Wondering if you were north of south? Going out in a few hours.

Nice coho! I need to figure the port out a bit. I know some days the fish are heavy out in front of port but this time they appeared to have been more towards the points. I stopped in the channel to look around on my way back in. The lake has some very large schools of salmon wandering around.

Nothing out to 380 fow. Saw some nice catches at the launch. South was good. North was good.

Made it out to 225 fow. Empty graphs. No fish.

One small king on a rigger down 53 in 110 fow. Moonshine green jeans. Very few marks. In 150 fow now.

Fishing solo. Lines set in 80 fow. Moving WNW.

Not seeing any views on the Open Seats forum so I thought I would try here: Probably a long shot, but I'll be in Ludington and plan to fish Wednesday morning. Will launch from the Ludington boat ramp at 998 W. Loomis Street at 5:00 am. I need to pull lines around 10 am. Fishing solo currently so I have room on the boat. I would like to run more than 3 lines, and could accommodate 2 more people. Boat is a 19 foot Lowe side console with a 120 hp outboard and a 9.9 kicker. I have all necessary fishing equipment. Not planning to clean fish in Ludington, so if we get fish you can get them whole and deal with them as you see fit. Send me a message if interested. -JD *disclaimer: I am not a charter, and am fishing for fun! If the wind forecast is wrong and the waves kick up I will not fish the big lake. Might jig the harbor for a few hours if that's the case since I'll already be up there.

Regarding Note #3: If the fishing reel you have states for example 300 M / 0.45 mm, you can use that info - but convert it to Yards and inches. So 300m x 1.09 = 336 yards. 0.45 mm / 25.4 = 0.0177 inches. Regarding using other line types. It isn't specific to line type. The red text boxes that say Backing/Core/Leader can be changed to say whatever you want. Just as long as you type in a diameter and a length in the respective boxes, it should work.

Posted above. Got a later start launching at 5:30. Didn't do great but got a couple, but I fished 6 am to 8 am only and then had to head in for work.

Sorry. Radio not working. Went 2-2 right before sunrise. Both about 5 lbs kings. In 90 fow. Nothing after that and I have to head in and go to work. I'll try again another morning! Was a beautiful morning on the water.

Thanks for this report. I got a campsite at the state park and will be launching maybe 4:30 am. Can only fish until 7:30/8 so crossing my fingers. Going to be a solo trip so we'll see how I do on the net!

Good job fishing given the weather. Check the offshore forecasts, and never trust "light" north/northwest winds. Those frequently blow harder than predicted.
