July 25th Another great trip with the young men from Mystic Lake YMCA. These trip are always a blast with the young guys. We had a slower start but once we dialed them in we had it fast and furious.Fished the bank and took only one steelie, but then went a little south and deeper and did well. Chrome and blue spin doctors,blue slick glow fishcatchers and blue flies were hot in the sun. Best spoon was a Mag Stinger Lemon Ice.The steelies came on Stinger Blue Dolphin, and Steelie Stomper. |

July 20th-22nd Gander mountain tourney, I was unable to fish this great event due to a snapped shaft on Friday....arrgghhh... The fishing was very spotty with some boats finding them and others not, due to the strong north winds on Thursday. There was a good mix of salmon and trout at the weigh in on Saturday. |
|
July 18th After a late start we managed to get some fish in the high morning sun. Setting lines at 8 am is not the best time but we made the most of it with a great group of young men from "Mystic Lake YMCA camp" Stinger lemon ice,mixed veggies and DOC were our hot spoons.Fishcatchers with flies in greens and mirage took a few hits also.Straight out and south between the 35's and 39's. |

July 15th A great day on the water ! The wind and waves have settled down and the fishing fleet was out in full force. We fished north on the bank and took fish from th 01's to the 04's. right along the bank. Moonshing spoons in the an and stinger lemon ica after the sun got up. flashers and flies in greens and whites were ok too. Meat rigs on low wires and 300' copper did some dammage too.Fish moved deeper as expected from the high south winds yesterday. Took fish out of temp in the morning and fish moved deeper as the morning progressed. 45'-115' down. |

July 14th BIG WAVES...... Moved todays trip to sunday due to 5-7 foot waves. |

July 13th Had a fantastic day on the water with the Boggart group. A great group of serious fisherman,we never loos a hooked up fish. Landing 2 tripples and maybe a double or two. Several fish in the mid teens made a great catch on the Hattrick ! Very spunky fish had one rip almost 500 feet of wire on the first run! Hot baits today were Stinger lemon ice,NBK,moonshine spoons and meat rigs with green flashers and glow heads. Also Fishcatchers in tuxedo and green slick glow with mirage and green flies. Full cores and divers back 120 on wire and high divers with mountain dew rotators and lemon ice flies back 125 were also good.Riggers 45-70 down. |
|
July 12th Tried to make a day on the water but due to rough seas my customers decided to return to port after only setting a few rods. 3-5 foot from the west is very hard to fish without a iron stomach for most. The boats that did fish did well north. |
|
July 7th Not so Lucky for the fish in Ludington. We fished the bank today,it was very very busy. The action was pretty steady but the fish did seem to be in pockets. Lots of traffic spread the fish early. Stinger SOG,mixed veggies and jawbreaker did the damage,along with moonshine mongolian beef. Meat rigs on the low wires produced a few big kings as well. Fish were taken from the surface down to 62 feet.Look for the stable warmer weather to set up the thermocline and concentrate the fish. |
|
July 1st Went north to the point today.....between ludington and the point the water is chilly 40 degrees in July?? We managed to find a few pockets of fish and took a dozen hits on a good mix of stinger spoons double orange crush,mixed veggie,steelie stomper and the NBK, Hot spinnies were the tuxedo rig with a mirrage fly and whie slick glow with a STS green glow martian. Good numbers of fish sitting in the top 25 feet. Look for this weeks south winds to help set the water up. |
|
June 30th Today was very hit and miss, If you were in the right pocket you did well. We only managed a couple fish today but they were nice adult kings in the mid teens. Stinger mixed veggies and stinger holly christmas did what little damage we did....Several days of north winds have scattered the fish. |
|
June 29th After a Strong North blow we decided to set up in front of the pier heads. We took several adult kings and 2 nice browns in a few hours also throwing lots of small ones back for next year. Hot baits were stinger NBK on cores,stinger killer bee,and stinger mixed veggies. Also a couple fish early on moonshines and rotators and flies. |
|
June 28th We met up with Keith Barber from "Hunters Exchange" to film some summer salmon fishing...well shortly after leaving the dock he had realized that the camera was having technical difficulties and we were unable to film, This didn't keep the fish from biting. With the North winds I chose to go to the point and set up at the nets and troll south. It was fast and furious for the first couple hours with most of the fish pushing into the teens. We fished until about 830 and pulled lines dues to 3-5 foot waves. Flashers and flies along with meat rigs did most of the damage. The hot rigger spoons were stinger NBK and monkeyshine. |
|
June 24th Am charter we fished the point today and had a great steady morning bite. Although the size wasn't there we did get enough eaters. Stinger mixed veggies,lemon ice and dbl orange crush.Mostly on 1/2 cores and divers today. |
|
June 23th Fished way south and way out looking for stable waters and bigger fish,the bite was very slow today. We only boxed 4 fish and threw a few small lakers and kings back. We need some stable weather to set the water up.Stinger mixed veggies,lemon ice and yellow tail on cores and riggers. |
