Ludington 5/6 am

[jdh]

Took the morning off work and went out to find some more fish. Launched a bit before 6 and set lines by 6:30 in 70 fow about 4 miles north of port. Water was 45 at the surface - colder than the 50 degree water that was around. Hit 2 fish by 8:30 am in the cold water. Found warmer water in 100 fow on a WSW troll. Generally fished in the 100-160 fow the rest of the morning. Ended up with I think 12 kings in the box from about 5 lbs to 17 lbs. Most 10-15 lbs. Spoons - blues and greens were hot. Speed bounced around 2.0-3.0. East wind had a pretty rough chop.
