Ludington has a fish with your name on it, so let Double D Fishing Charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Dale can tell you all about the local fishery.
These waters are known for Salmon, and more – with any luck, you’ll have tight lines in no time. Depending on the fish you’re after, you may find yourself trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Don’t forget to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
You’ll be casting lines from a 21’ Kingfisher sportfishing vessel with space for 3 passengers. It comes with downriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Dale will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you’ll need 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, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now’s the time to experience fishing in Ludington for yourself, with Double D Fishing Charters!

5 Hour Trip – Salmon (PM)
Did an evening trip out of Ludington with Caption Dale. Ended up going 3 for 6 that evening. 21ft kingfisher handled the waves great and he was great with my 5 year old son on the boat. Would highly recommend fishing captain Dale. Very knowledgeable.

6 Hour Trip – Salmon (AM)
Captain Dale was very knowledgeable and put us on fish. We had a tough day landing them due to a really soft bite. Had a monster snap the line. Every boat struggled but we had more action than most. I would recommend him to anyone looking to book.

Best charter fishing trip ever! We have had 3 in the Gulf of Mexico and 1 in the Pacific and this was better. We caught fish and had a great time. We did the evening trip. I would highly recommend Double D. We will be booking for next year!
