Ludington is the number one port for Salmon and Trout fishing on Lake Michigan. According to the DNR fishing reports, more fish are caught in Ludington per angler hour than anywhere else in the state. Charter boat fishing is big business in Ludington, and many Lake Michigan charter boats are docked at the marina, including Lie-a-lot Charters, a full time, full service charter boat operation. Captain Mike’s goal is to provide everyone with a quality fishing experience that will be remembered for a lifetime. Whether you’re a first-time fisherperson or an experienced angler, the Captain will customize the fishing trip around your needs.
