We took our annual charter out of Ludington on saturday and had a great time! We have gone out with Ed Stell aboard the Encore for the last 5 years and this year we added a second boat, the Hat Trick. Both boats had a great time. Here is the catch for the crew of the Hat Trick:

And here is the catch for the guys aboard the Encore:

We had a mini tournament with the young guys aboard the Hat Trick smoking the old guys aboard the Encore 12-8 in fish. The Hat Trick also took big fish @ 17.5 lbs. We had another fish at 17.25, and the biggest fish on the Encore was 15.5 lbs.

I fished with the winners, the crew of the Hat Trick, and we took our fish almost exclusively on flahers and flies or meat. White flasher/white head meat rig on center rigger took 4 fish. High divers also took fish with blue? flasher/flies. Things started hot and we had 8 fish in the boat after about 2 hours. Then we hit a lull, and went a while with nothing. Then went 3/4 in about 30 minutes, then went 1/2 right at the end to get our 4 man limit. Everything came between 50-65 down. Only took 1 hit on a 7 color core, also the only bite on a spoon all day. Nothing on J-plugs. Captain Jon and his first-mate Andy worked real hard for us and did a great job putting everyone on fish. They also managed to not throw anyone overboard even though the crew gets a little rowdy:grin: . Ed and Andrew also did a great job for the guys on the Encore, even though the fishing was a little slow. Sounds like they took almost half of their fish on core. Can't wait to go back next year. Thanks a lot to the crews of both boats!

Nice job Larry.

We were barely in Ludington, got up there about 10 pm friday and left at noon saturday. I'm leaving tuesday morning and spending a few days in Frankfort. Hopefully we'll get into some fish up there.
