Ludington 9/2 & 9/3


Recommended Posts

Sorry for the delayed post. No access to the GLF site via web or Android app via my Verizon connection, so I couldn't post. Got to Thompsaon Marina on Sunday in the late afternoon and got the tent setup. Just in time to deal with rain and wind overnight. That meant that Monday was a bust for fishing too. First 4 days and have only been on the water twice due to big waves.

We went 7 for 10 on Tuesday and 1 for 3 on Wednesday. The other days have been 4-6' waves

Main problem when on the water has been the water temps. 70-72* on the surface but still 65* down 80'. At 95' it does get to 54* and then it is 43* at 105 to 115' down. Not a lot of fish being marked but some with most in the 90+ area and not real active.

Tuesday and Wednesday Dee and Jim joined me in Ludington. We started on the 80' water off the bath house and worked to the Big Sable light house on the 120-140 drop off. Some good signs on the graph but quite a bit of boat traffic and we had to work for the fish. Our hits came from 85' to 115' down over 130 to 180 FOW.

Best lures were #4 Silver Horde purple squiggle back plug on rigger (85', 100', 105') and 300 copper (3 for 4) and BW UV meat rig off mag Dipsy down 200# on 1 (3 for 4). Fish were 1 steelhead (7#) and 7 kings (7, 9, 12, 15, 16, 16, and 21#).

Here are some pics taken with Dee's camera -- click a pic to see the full size version

A 34' Pursuit also put itself on top of the north breakwall on 9/2 and Dee got a couple of pictures of it. Big patch on the starboard bow.

Nice job on the fish! I wondered how they were going to deal with the huge hole down the keel on that Tiara to get it off the pier, duck tape fixes everything!

A friend of mine said he saw some flexseal in a store on sale in Ludington thought they would of gave that a shot LOL
