Ludington Michigan is the place to be in August and fishing aboard the "POLECAT" is a blast.
A little over a week ago I am watching TV thinking how much I wanted another crack at those King Salmon so I sent Schall53 a text asking if he had enough salmon to get him through the winter.....his response was... when are we going?
As it turned out the polecat was booked up except for last Saturday and Schall53 couldn't go on that day so I took my grand kids and had a trip of a lifetime.
Schall53 tells me that he can go this Wednesday however Captain Doug is booked solid for the next 2 weeks but he could do an afternoon trip for Schall53 and I on Wednesday.
The weather forecast was great and most of all the waves were suppose to be 1 foot or less so it's on.
I met Schall53 somewhere in in Michigan for breakfast and by 3:30 pm we were shoving off aboard the "POLECAT".
Captain Doug was the hot boat that morning with his crew boxing 10 Kings right out front of the lighthouse.
Before we cleared the break wall we had the first rod set on a down rigger and within the first 1/4 mile all the rods were in.
Long story short the 1 foot or less waves turned out being 4 foot rollers and Schall53 and I each best our personal bests with 2 Kings tipping the scales at 27 pounds each and 2 more for good measure one at 25 pounds and one at 20 pounds.
We enjoyed a picture perfect sunset and world class fishing.
