Book your next trip with Hooked Up Again Charters and find out what makes the fishing in Ludington so unique. With Captain Dave at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience. Your excursion begins aboard a 29' BAHA Sport fish that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

You're likely to fish for Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and more, depending on the season. On these trips, you can expect to troll. Captain Dave will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board.

You might need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect. A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Also remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

Hooked Up Again Charters will make it easy for you to go fishing in Ludington. So, how about booking that trip?

Captain Dave & Bobby - First Class!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on July 21, 20246 adults

We have booked several charter boats over the years to come up and catch kings. Hooked Up Again is by far the best experience we’ve had. Both Captain Dave & Bobby were exceptional. Very knowledgeable on locations to put us on fish as well as tackle changes to increase our odds. They had an amazing network of fellow anglers and could tell they were both very well respected. It was a slow day fishing and yet we landed more (by a lot) than most other boats in the area. The only thing that surpasses the knowledge is the attitude and personality. Very personable and enjoyable to spend the day with! We can’t thank you both enough for such a fantastic trip on the water and going the extra miles to ensure we had a successful day! We’ll be back!! If you’re looking to book a charter service, 10/10 recommend Hooked Up Again!
