Ludington 8-25 & 26

[EdB]

Fishing was tougher this weekend, warm water everywhere inside but fish are there, just hard to get to bite. A lot of fish are in PM Lake and some are moving upstream. Still a lot of fish in the big lake.

On 8-25, we started in 120 water SW in the 53's and worked west. Hit 2 fish and lost one by sunrise, one 175 down on a rigger with a Moonshine Razerburn. Another on a low mag diver out 200 ft with a green glow spin doctor and seaweed fly. We pulled lines and ran out to the 38 line west and trolled west from there. Hit a double and went for a while and hit another. Got to the 42's and hit two more doubles there and few others, ended up 10 for 17. 2 kings, 2 coho and 6 steelhead. Fish were not big out deep, lost mostly steelhead offshore. Hoping to find next years kings out there but we did not.

Today, it was blowing good when we got to the docks. It was fishable but was going to be rough out where we ended up Saturday. We decided to take it easy and fish PM lake. We went 3 for 4 in there with nice kings hitting plugs. Our best was a low mag wire diver out 40 ft with a ace hi lucky charm. That got bit twice, a ms mongolian beef plug and a green glow plug got bit on riggers down 22 and 18. More fish in the lake than I expected. Here's a PM Lake King

Good luck!
