Captain George Freeman of Free Style Charters reports from Ludington:

Ran our first trip today 5/6/08 - Fishing was good. We worked 12 to 25 feet of water south of the Project to the Bass Lake Outlet. Our best action came on Dreamweaver Super Slim spoons - Mac & Cheese, Sunburst, and Mixed Veggie's. We ran the Mac & Cheese and Sunburst 80 feet back with a 1/4 oz. sinker off our surface birds. We had the Mixed Veggies on our Slide Divers turned to 6 out 35 feet on one side & 40 feet on the other. We also had action on a Black Smelt Thunderstick and a Orange Gold Rapala ran clean behind a bird. We has several hits that didn't hook up well, but we ended up with 5 Lakers, a nice Brown and we lost a big Steelhead.

Ludington - Good fishing continues off the north pier.

Pere Marquette River - Has good fishing for steelhead, brown trout and suckers.

Pentwater - While fishing slowed with the cold front, look for steelhead movement this week. High water levels will make fishing a little more challenging.
