Ludington Sport fishing Charters

  • Feb 8 2019

    Still winter, but my thoughts are starting to turn towards spring and summer fishing on the big waters. Its never to early to get your charters booked and your preferred dates locked in. Summer will be here before you know it.

    Bittersweet ending….

    Mother nature threw the charter fleet a pretty rough curve ball the last couple weeks of the season, high winds and multiple storm fronts had a big influence on the number of trips we were able to run. High seas are not fun to fish in and the fact that the best fishing was way offshore made it necessary to cancel a bunch of trips for most captains. Customer safety is always our number one priority.

    Overall the fishing this season was on the tough side as far as Salmon go…yes we still caught a bunch of them, but the numbers were hard to come by most days, the lake trout and steelhead numbers seemed to be better this year. This should help the fall, winter, spring fisheries on the river.

    The big boat is out of the water or the season, and our attention and efforts have turned towards fishing the Pere Marquette and Muskegon rivers for king salmon then Steelhead. If you are interested in hitting the water please don’t hesitate to give us a call, we operate all year.

    Another blow day update

    Big north winds have finally come to lake Michigan, The lake has flipped and there are a few fish pushing into the pier heads and PM lake. These fish will likely move up the river fairly quickly. Late season staging kings are suckers for meat rigs and plugs…big plugs usually take BIG kings this time of year, glow and wonderbread are my favorites. Bigger flashers and bigger flies can get them going as well. The fishing the last few weeks has been inconsistent for sure, but its been fun every day that we’ve been on the water. How many kings are really out there…time will tell….lets hope for a strong finish to the season. Remember we also offer guided river trips for Salmon and Steelhead.

    We still have a handful of morning charters available if you are looking for a great time on the water. 231-250-9745, call or text, email @ jkolehouse@sbcglobal.net
