El-Lin Sport Fishing Charters is all about fishing the stunning waters of Ludington. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Dave knows them forwards and back.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Coho Salmon, and plenty more. You’ll target your catch by trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

You’ll be fishing aboard a 28’ Cherokee sportfishing boat that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Rods, reels, and tackle are included.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. 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.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks and snacks can be available for you at an additional cost. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
