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. This involves 6 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Rainbow Trout from October to April and Salmon in September, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, drift fishing, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 19' Smoker Craft boat that can safely take up to 3
anglers.

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.

    October Charter

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) on October 15, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    What a great experience! Capt Eric was great at keeping me updated and answering the questions I had before I even asked them. The trip itself was seamless. We were so excited for the charter and it was one we will talk about for a while after. We will be back! Thank you again Capt Eric! Kendra, Pierce and Kayden.

    Amazing day fishing with Captain Eric!

    3/4 Day Trip (PM) on September 20, 2025 • 2 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, 2023 • 3 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.
