Fish Craze Charters
Fish Craze Charters
Make the most out of your fishing adventure in Ludington with Fish Craze Charters. To keep your charter trips affordable, we fish out of a 22' AAD Custom Aluminum Fishing Boat with a capacity of up to five passengers. The boat is equipped with outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials needed for a great day on the water. We offer both morning and afternoon trips.
Depending on the conditions, you may have the opportunity to catch Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Lake Trout, or Brown Trout.
During your trip, you can expect to troll Lake Michigan using either light or heavy tackle. We also offer jigging trips using light tackle with jigs and floating skein in Pere Marquette Lake.
Families looking to make a day of it will be happy to know that kids are welcome aboard. Please let us know if anyone in your group is 16 years old or younger so we can provide the appropriate size life jackets for each passenger.
Before coming aboard, everyone age 17 and older will need a Michigan Fishing License. Licenses are available online or locally at Captain Chucks, Pere Marquette Expeditions, Walmart, or Dunham’s.
Please bring sunblock (non-spray), drinks, snacks, sunglasses, and a sweater or jacket. Bottled water is recommended, and alcohol is allowed in moderation for guests 21 and older. Please avoid hard liquor and glass bottles. Keep in mind that offshore temperatures typically feel 5 to 10 degrees colder than they do on land.

Austin LavullisRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewOne Helluva Trip
5 Hr – Evening Fishing Trip on September 18, 2026 • 2 adultsHighly recommend! This guide is beyond knowledge about the lake and the fish behavior. We started out catching a pretty nice King and steelhead and then to tracking a few salmon here and there with a few Coho hits but nothing too hot. He ensured my wife and I to be ready for the night bite and he didnt disappoint. We had two Kings on the line and Coho hitting our other lines left and right around sunset. We ended the night with 2 Kings around 20-25lbs, a steel head and 3 kings around 10ish lbs. If youre ready for a good time then i'd suggest booking ASAP.
Danielle Defauw5.0VerifiedExcellent 50th Birthday Celebration
5 Hr – Evening Fishing Trip on August 15, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 childWith our kids (ages 17, 14, 11), we had an exceptional 5-10 pm trip. The app’s image header stated the trip was from 4-9 but the next few boxes down that specified booking details showed 5-10. The later hour was needed because the fish really started biting just before 9. We recommend confirming with Captain Alex via messaging for the departure as we arrived an hour too early. We would definitely book with Captain Alex again. Such great memories. Alex has a true passion for fishing and boating.

Marna Seiser5.0VerifiedJuly fishing trip
5 Hr – Evening Fishing Trip on July 16, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenThe captain, Alex, was in communication the entire time about the weather, water conditions, and wildlife smoke. He asked the ages of the kids so he’d be prepared with the proper life jackets. King salmon was caught by each person and tasted delicious. We’ll book again next year when we come back!
