Puddle Jumper Charters
Spend the day with Puddle Jumper Charters and get hooked on fishing in Ludington! Captain Travis and CJ will be your guide, giving you access to years of sportfishing experience.
Local species include Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and more with any luck. On the day of your trip you're likely to troll using light tackle.
Your day begins aboard a 27' Tiara sportfishing vessel that holds up to 5 passengers. It has all the essentials. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.
You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
You will need to purchase 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.
It's recommended to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, time to hit the water with Puddle Jumper Charters!

Salmon for dinner
The weather was not conducive to fishing - rough seas and a chop, plus rain. But these guys did a great job in trying to hook up to the fish. And, they were good to talk with. Other charters we've been on seem to act like they know everything. I would recommend these guys to others & my friends
