Hooked Up Again Charters

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?
