Lake Michigan Charter Fishing

ImageNothing beats Lake Michigan charter fishing from Ludington.  More fish are caught from Ludington than any other Michigan port.  The season kicks off in April with the arrival of big Brown Trout in shallow, inshore water.  May means early season King and Chinook Salmon.  June brings big catches of Lake Trout.  Come July and August big, battling Steelhead, King and Coho Salmon are at their peak.  These are Lake Michigan trophy months.

ImageCaptain Mike Gnatkowski tells us that charter fishing is no longer just for guys.  In fact, this year, women will be fishing against the guys in the Gander Mountain Offshore Classic.

Whether you're a seasoned fisherman or a novice, these links will help you find an experienced captain.

Ludington Barns and Byways Tour October 9th

Perhaps not to the folks that work them, but to a city bred youngster like me, a barn was a magical place.  On my uncle's farm, the barn was the place where we played hide-n-seek; the hay mow with the thick rope for lifting was the best swing a child could ask for...
