Fun on a fishing trip begins with catching fish -- but it is more than that...it's also re-living fish tales about the ones that got away and the ones that didn't -- it's talking about secret lures, favorite methods and new ideas. It's high-fives after a long battle ends with a trophy secured in the net. --- it's sharing a picturesque view of the sand dunes or watching a sunset at the end of a successful day.

Fishing is about having fun!

On the Free Style, you can find all that and more. My reputation comes from the ability to put you into the action and the fact my top priority is satisfying your fishing needs.

That includes providing the little extras to make your charter memorable. The fish filled waters of Lake Michigan, a fully-equipped charter boat, and a licensed captain with over 30 years experience fishing the waters off Ludington gives you an excellent opportunity to enjoy an exciting day.

Join me aboard “Free Style” for an unforgettable fishing adventure!

7-26-24 Fishing Report

There were reports about good catches at the pierheads yesterday morning, but we decided to go north. We set up off the bank. Surface temp was 54 and it was 43 down 50 feet. We hit our first fish on a 5 color core with a Yeck Double Orange Crush.  Our chute rigger down 80 with an 8″ White Crush Flip Fin Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly stacked with an SS Soda was next. The starboard low wire out 85 with an 8″ Chrome Frog Flip Fin Paddle/Picked Sunshine Action Fly went and we were tripled up. We boated all three. We missed one on a 7.5 color core with a mag UV Wonder Bread. That spoon went 4 times. We broke it off on the 4th bite. The bead chain broke on a small Pinkie Plug on a 7.5 color core. Our port high wire diver out 300 took a King on a Charlie’s Special Flip Fin Paddle/Green Crinkle Action Fly. We swapped out the 8″ Paddle on the chute rigger for an 11″ White Slick DW Paddle/Pickled Sunshine Action Fly. We kept the SS Soda for a stack. It went once at 90 and once at 125. The King that was down 125 hit the stack. We had Double Orange Crushes on both 5 color cores. They went a total of 5 times. We missed a fish on a 175 copper with a SS Shelly Snack. We took a big Coho on an out down set at 55 feet with a DW Chilly Willie. We took a Laker on a 300 copper with a mag Pearl spoon. It was sunny and flat clam this morning. We thought it was going to be tough fishing after the sun came up, but our crew managed to boat some nice fish. We use morgan’s Tackle copper and wire, Dreamweaver Deeper Divers, Dreamweaver Ninja Boards, and Dreamweaver Premium Strips in our meat rigs.
