Ludington is well known as one of the best fishing ports on Lake Michigan, with many charter captains who are eager to make your fishing trip a successful one. Whether you’re a first-time angler, or an experienced fisherman, Ludington area charter captains will guide you in what to bring and what to expect on the big lake. Their boats include GPS, fishfinders, marine radios, and radar. You’ll have a safe and enjoyable fishing adventure, from captains who know what they’re doing and are eager to share the fun with you.
Rates on a charter boat are quite competitive and range from half day excursions to full day. All persons over the age of 16 are required by Michigan law to have a fishing license, and one-day licenses are available from sporting goods and retail stores in town.
It’s the perfect way to spend the day with friends or family, as your charter captain guides you to the best spots for catching trout, steelhead or salmon.
To begin, plan ahead and book your charter boat early in the season. This is very important as the summer fishing season is all too short and you don’t want to miss your chance for your preferred charter date. If you wait until the Lake Michigan fishing season is in full swing in August, you may be hard pressed to find a charter boat captain available for the date you want to fish.
There are as many different types of boats and captains as there are fishermen. Having fun and catching fish is what it’s all about. The secret is to find a charter boat and captain that will suit your needs. Talk to the captain. Is he knowledgeable and fun? Is he someone you could spend eight hours with? Get to know your captain. Here are some of the questions you might ask:
There are plenty of reasons why booking a fishing trip with a licensed charter captain is a great idea. They will provide a safe, guided adventure so you can focus on having a great day fishing with your friends or family!
