January

In January, find yourself a local guide and explore Ludington's ice fishing opportunities if the weather allows. Head to the tributaries for Perch fishing or target Northern Pike.

February

Before the ice begins to melt, you can still enjoy fishing for Northern Pike and Perch in one of the local lakes and rivers. Be very cautious with the ice conditions, though!

March

Boats begin to head out onto the lake, and trollers see nice numbers of Brown Trout. Shore anglers are casting their lines for Brownies and Lake Trout. Ludington's fishing is really warming up right now!

April

The Pere Marquette area produces Perch in March, if you feel like targeting these tasty Panfish. Shoreline trolling trips are also a great way to explore the lake on an early fall trip.

May

The lake's surface is getting warmer., as well as the Pere Marquette River. Lake Trout fishing is strong, and Chinook Salmon can be caught in 150-200 feetvof water. You can even find a couple of Walleye by the piers. 

June

Summer has truly arrived, which can only mean that Lake Michigan's fishing opportunities are getting hotter. The water is warm and is home to various types of Salmon and Trout. Happy fishing! 

July

In July, fishing yields nice doses of Salmon and Trout. You can hit Lake Michigan and troll its plentiful waters, or cast a line in the plentiful Pere Marquette River. 

August

Nothing beats a trip to Lake Michigan on a warm summer morning in August. You can enjoy fishing for various types of Salmon and Trout before they make their way to the tributaries to spawn.

September

Salmon and Trout are ready to make their way upstream. You can chase them close to shore on a warm afternoon or morning, or head to the Pere Marquette River for some angling action. 

October

It's all about river fishing in October! The waters of the Pere Marquette are home to Trout and Salmon. Grab your fly fishing or spinning gear, find a guide, and head out on an exciting adventure.

November

You can enjoy fishing the waters of Ludington Set Park for Perch if you don’t feel like giving up on jumbo fish just yet. You'll find 'em hanging out in deeper waters, along with Steelhead, in the Pere Marquette.

December

In December, the Pere Marquette is full of Northern Pike and can also hold Perch. Steelhead can also be found early in December if you know where to look. Be careful when ice fishing!

Had a great time with Capt Steve and Brad. Great guys. Were scheduled for Saturday afternoon but due to weather had to move to Sunday morning. Water was pretty rough early on but calmed down through the day. At dawn the fish started biting and we had four on the line at once. In total we caught 8 salmon and enjoyed a good day of fishing. Boat was nice and they did a great job cleaning and packing up the fish for us.

My son & I fished two mornings with Jason and the trips couldn't have been better. Day two was cut short due to business obligations and only had lines in the water for two hours and this was our catch. Biggest male in the middle weighed 25 lbs. We will be back Jason.

Captain Jason delivered 2 action filled days out of Ludington Michigan. We booked 2 full days of morning trips and limited out both days. Captain Jason kept us on the fish, and shared his knowledge of the area and techniques for success. His boat and tackle were top notch, well maintained, and he was well organized. The boat was perfect for the 2 of us. The trip exceeded my expectations.

Had a great time! Jody and Luke were awesome, friendly and willing to field all of our silly questions for 6 hours and show us the ropes in salmon fishing :) Their boat is very well stocked & equipped and they spent the entire time furiously hunting for more, our arms are still sore from hauling in all the giant king salmon. Thanks guys!

We met up with some family from out of state to go fishing. Steve and Brad worked extremely hard to get us on the fish. They were good guys to fish with, the boat is in great shape, very clean and well organized. I would recommend them to anyone and we will be using Knotty Girl again for out next fishing trip on Lake Michigan.
