Book your next trip with On Mission Fishing and find out what makes the fishing in Ludington so unique. Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain John is prepared to put you on fish.

These waters are known for Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! On the day of your trip you're likely to troll.

On Mission Fishing welcomes kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. You're welcome to bring snacks!

Your boat for the day is a 26' Weldcraft sportfishing vessel that holds up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it 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 might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Ludington for yourself, with On Mission Fishing! Bookings start August 1st 2026! Limited dates available

Great Trip with On Mission Fishing!
5 Hour Trip (PM) on August 8, 20254 adults

We had a great time on our 2-day trip with Captain Moe and his mate Chase. The conditions were less than favorable, but they still kept us on the fish. They worked very hard to make sure we had 8 to 10 lines in the water at all times. In addition to being great fishermen, they are great guys, my group enjoyed them very much. We will be fishing with On Mission again soon!

Great Captain and Boat
5 Hour Trip (AM) on August 12, 20253 adults

Captain John and first mate were great. (Boat was even better) When fishing got slow after an hour, they didn’t stay in line with the herd of boats off shore “washing lures”, we instead made a mad dash and he they put us back on the fish. Would recommend to anyone and will be back again.
