09/19/2009 Lake Michigan Fishing Report – Central

Captain Ed Stowe of Stowaway Charters in Ludington reports:

We are taking fish in the skinny water early, from the brinewell up to the o6oo#s and then going out after the early bite is over.  The bait of choice is J-Plug type baits, spoons, and Moonshines.   With the warm calm days of the past week the steelhead are on the temp breaks from the 5100s up to the 0700s and from the 3100s out to the 3800s.  Three cores, 5 Cores, and 7 cores are all taking fish on the breaks, as are the high divers turned to 3 1/2, from 70′ out to 150′.  We are  using Dreamweavers in the Greasy Chicken, Double Orange Crush, and Mac n Cheese in Super Slims patterns.  Yecks “Pats” bait and Fireballs are also working on the breaks. We need some rough weather and or rain to bring fish to the  pierheads and in Pere Marquette Lake.  There are some fish in the PM river and they are catching them at the Twin Bridges and at Scotville, Custer and Indian Bridge.   Good Fishin……..Capt Ed09
