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.

Book your trip now and hit the water with SNS Sportfishing and Guide Service.

3/4 day with Captain Eric

3/4 Day Trip (AM) on September 24, 2023

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.

3/4 Day Trip (AM) on September 26, 2023

All three of us had a very good experience with Captain Eric. He patiently taught some of us how to cast and stepped in when needed to help things along. The technology he employs fascinated us and made fishing a little bit like a video game. We hooked a few, but took home just what we needed for thick King Salmon steaks for our party of twelve. I highly recommend his trip.
