Fresh Starport Marina & RV Park Fishing Reports

The Jigging bite is heating up and i have Tuesday open!

There was a light rain when we set up off the bank north of Ludington this morning. There were a decent number of marks on our graph, but they weren’t biting right away. We had everything set except our deepest coppers when we hit a fish on our port low wire diver out 125 with an 8″ Black White Crush Green Dot Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. It hit and was gone. That diver went one more time and we didn’t get that one either. Those were our only two diver bites. Our port rigger down 85 first and then down 100 with a pair of Super Slim Half Green Jeans went several times. The stack was pinned 20 feet above the main bait. The same with the starboard out down set at 65. It had an SS Green Hulk stacked with a SS Half Green Jeans. We took 2 fish on the same rod on that out down. The chute rigger down 105 with an 11″ DW White Slick Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly stacked with a SS Half Green Jeans took our biggest King. It took the Paddle. Later in the trip we took a Laker on the same Paddle 150 down. We took a couple fish on the stack too. Our 6 color, 10 color cores, **hidden content** & 300 coppers all took fish with Super Slim Spoons. One of our bigger Kings came on the 275 copper with a SS Soda. We use Morgan’s Tackle copper and wire and our lead cores and coppers with Dreamweaver Ninja Boards.

A good push of spring kings have arrived here in Ludington. Lots of mature fish in the upper teens and a few pushing 20 pounds. Fishing north of the harbor from **hidden content** FOW mostly targeting 60-100’ down. Hot setups have been Dreamweaver spindoctors paired with Pickle sunshine flies on our high divers 180’ back and meat rigs on the low divers **hidden content**’ back. Riggers down 60’ with moonshine spoons and the chute rigger down 100’ with a white slick spin doctor and pickle sunshine fly. Copper segments of 200, 250, and 300’ with moonshine spoons have took the occasional fish as well. Fishing should continue to be fantastic. Capt. Steve

Great action our last two trips.We are catching limits of Lake Trout with an occasional King Salmon & Brown Trout mixed in. We have been catching the Trout between 45 & 65 feet of water fishing Dreamweaver Spin Doctors trailed by DW Whirly Gigs. While trolling for Lakers we also have out various lengths of lead core line with spoons on the end hoping to catch a King, Steelhead or Brown. This is fun fishing with lots of action. We have several openings this month and next month. Book your trip now to get in on great fishing.
