Day one of the Ludington Offshore Classic gets wiped out. Just like that, the biggest tournament on Lake Michigan turns into a one-day shootout for $20,000.
Fisherman's Digest rides with Team Innuendo south of Ludington as nearly 130 boats scatter for an eight-hour fishing period. The rules test more than a hot bite. Teams can bring 12 fish to the scales, with a maximum of nine of any one species. Scoring is 10 points per fish and one point per pound, so filling the limit is a must and every upgrade counts. Kings move with the wind. Lake trout have to show up. Steelhead fill holes in the box. Yesterday's pre-fish is no guarantee once the lake changes.
Ludington is the salmon capital of Michigan, and it is a year-round angling town. Boat, shore, or ice, there is always fish to be caught. Plan your own trip at pureludington.com for beaches, downtown, trails, Big Sable Lighthouse, and the local charter fleet.
