Ludington 8-30

[EdB]

We fished more like Pentwater than Ludington. We ran down south of the nets in 49's and trolled south to off Pentwater in 80-100 ft of water. We hit 10 fish, boxed 5 and pulled at 9:20am with a seasick young man. 4 boats of my friends all fished that water and it looked like just a couple boats from Pentwater. All my buddies there went 5 for 10. That was strange we all had the same catch. They pulled just after us as it got rough. Most of the Pentwater fleet went south. What a great morning with miles of water and biting fish all to ourselves on Labor Day weekend. Heard the big point was a madhouse. The box would have been real nice if we stuck a couple hogs we lost. Had 3 first time salmon fisherman onboard with 2 young guys. They had fun.

Pearl/blk dot ace hi on a 150 copper. #3 jpugs in green ladderback and green splatter on 300 coppers. MS carbon 14 and mongolian beef on a rigger at 75ft and 60 ft early. Blue bubble spin doctor on a 1-1/2 lb hit a couple. Glow frog spin doctor on a 110 wire mag diver at 110 ft went early too than again later with a chrome mt dew spin doctor and blue fairways fly. Looks like it might be blowing tomorrow. The wind has been ripping hard this evening.
