SNS Sportfishing and Guide Service is located in Ludington and offers guided river trips for up to 3 anglers.

Capt. Eric will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip. Grilled shore lunch is included on full day trips and can be added to half day trips upon request. For those cold days, the captain will provide a Buddy heater.

Amazing day fishing with Captain Eric!
3/4 Day Trip (PM) on September 20, 20252 adults

If you want to enjoy an incredible day of fishing… book Captain Eric ASAP! The entire experience was great from start to finish. His style is efficient but easy going. Within minutes of launch he put us on the fish and it was a blast from there. His 30 years of local fishing knowledge combined with his purpose built boat and the technology he uses is a deadly combination for a stellar day on the water. I’m looking forward to the next outing!

3/4 day with Captain Eric
3/4 Day Trip (AM) on September 24, 20233 adults

Went with 2 of my sons on this fishing trip. It was absolutely fabulous! The captain moved us to locations that we were constantly having action. As a fisherman who only experienced salmon fishing with down riggers, this was an experience of a lifetime. Fishing with lightweight gear going against a large salmon was exhilarating to say the least. I highly recommend this charter for an experience of a lifetime.

Reported catch:
Chinook Salmon

Thank you Bob! Glad you all had a great time! Enjoy your catch! Tight lines! Capt Eric
