Salmon Fishing Charter

Location

Ludington, Michigan

Group Size

Max 4 people

Duration

4 hours

 

Every August mature king salmon are drawn to the Ludington harbor as they begin their annual spawning run up the Pere Marquette River.  These fish often stage for several weeks within a stone’s throw of the Ludington lighthouse or within the protected waters of Pere Marquette Lake as they await the right conditions to enter the river system.  This all sets the stage for some of the most exciting near-shore fishing of the year as these feisty fish tend to tear out hundreds of feet of line as they refuse to come to the net easily

Due to the tight quarters of the Ludington harbor and the abundance of salmon, this fishery is ideal for smaller boats, which allow for maximum success and maneuverability with much less gear than larger vessels.  The protected waters of the Ludington harbor and PM Lake are also ideal for those who want to experience the thrill of catching a salmon while minimizing the potential for seasickness.

        Join us aboard our custom 18’ Lund Pro V as Captain Bryan uses his years of experience to hook you into a big king.  Due to the size of our boat, we specialize in hosting smaller groups of fishermen in a much more affordable manner than many charters in town.  Two fishermen are ideal, but we can accommodate up to four if necessary.  Our goal is to provide a truly “hands on” experience as our clients play an active role in setting lines, hooking fish, and bringing them to the net.  Both morning and evening trips are available.
