Ludington Off Shore Classic

[Justtrollin]

We fished the classic this past weekend. Started with the Ruboy Thursday and fished between Pentwater and little point. We only managed 5 fish and not that big so we did not fair well in the standings. There were some big fish weighed this weekend in Ludington. We never managed to get any over 20lbs, but there were allot of fish that were. Even two 29 lbers.

Friday was Kind of rough for us so we stayed in dock and sorted tackle, put new swivels and leaders on stuff and cleaned the boat.

Saturday day 1 of the tournament we headed back south again but went a bit further to little point. We managed 13 fish by 11 o-clock and the wind was picking up. So we pulled lines and moved to in front of Ludington to make sure we would be in on time. Well we never caught another fish. We weighed our ten fish box and was good enough to put us in 15th. We took allot of fish on a 8 inch paddle and fly set up on riggers and dypsy's. Orange spoons in slurpie and double orange crush super slims on 225 and 150 coppers. We found the trout mixed in with kings and caught them on the same baits.

Sunday we went back to the same water and it was a bit more overcast than Saturday. Same set up as Sat but it started a bit slower. We were not getting bites on the riggers and only one bite on a dypsy. Decided to pull in a 150 copper and put out a 300 copper with a super slim flea for all. Well this bait just started to be on fire catching our next 3 fish. So of course you put out more. Another 300 copper on the other side with 225 copper with a clip on weight along with them. At this time it was steady action on coppers and dypsy's until we put fish number 20 in the box and had to pull lines at 12:48 and head back. We ended up catching bigger trout than the day before so it put us with a 126.8 lb box with 10 fish. This ended up being the biggest box of am teams of the day and was good enough to move us up to 4th place. We also won the 333 big combo with a king, steelhead and lake trout. Allong with a yeti cooler won in the drawing.

Turned out to be a great weekend in Ludington once again and look forward to going back next year.

Way to go guys...I know that Yeti cooler is always the coveted prize that everyone is looking at...Isn't big combo a downrigger package or soemthing? NICE WORK.
