Ludington Charter Boat Association
Year after year, Ludington ranks as the #1 salmon fishing port in Michigan. If you want great action and big fish, a charter fishing trip in Ludington should be your #1 choice.
We have 45+ captains to choose from.
The Pere Marquette river is the major contributor of natural reproducing salmon in Lake Michigan. Salmon are also planted at the Ludington State Park. The mature salmon return to the Ludington waters each summer prior to their spawning runs. Ludington is also known for the reefs and drop-offs near the port. This unique structure around the port of Ludington attracts bait fish and huge salmon, steelhead, lake trout and brown trout.
In addition to fishing, there are many more family activities in and around Ludington.
First was a high wire diver out 130 with a Mag Dreamweaver Blue Dolphin. Next was a low wire diver out 70 with an 8″ Kevin’s Girlfriend/Liquid Sunshine Action Fly. Third was a 225 copper with a glow spoon. We boated 2 out of 3. Then it was slow going. We talked to a couple other boats and they were hitting fish but it was dead for us. We headed out deeper and took a couple more. Our biggest King came on an 8″ Seneca Special Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly out 100 on a low wire diver. We hit another double on a 175 copper with a Super Slim UV Black Dot Starburst & a 300 copper with a Mag DW Blue Hulk. We took a small King on an 8″ Chrome Mountain Dew Spin Doctor/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly out 85 on a low wire diver. We lost a big King on a 225 copper and took a small one on a 200 copper with a Mixed Veggie Super Slim . We never had a bite on our riggers and it wasn’t from lack of trying. We changed a bunch of baits but the fish didn’t want anything to do with them.
