Knotty Girl Charter Fishing
Knotty Girl Charter Fishing is located in the Historic Maritime Port of Ludington. From May through October, we fish for salmon and trout species on Lake Michigan. We offer 6 hour morning and afternoon charters, accommodating up to 6 people max. All trips include the use of rods, reels, tackle, lures, as well as your catch properly filleted and bagged for you to take home. We ask you to provide your own food/snacks, beverages, sweatshirt/jacket, valid Michigan fishing license, and a cooler for your catch after cleaning.
The boat, 'Knotty Girl III' is a 1993 Tiara 4300 Open. She's something special and is completely outfitted for what we do. This vessel is powered by a pair of 550 H.P. turbocharged Detroit Diesels and features the latest Raymarine electronics as well as all safety equipment. Knotty Girl III boasts a spacious bathroom and has plenty of cabin room for personal belongings.
Operating with a first mate, we possess a wealth of knowledge. Onboard this vessel the professionalism will not go unnoticed.

Best charter we've been on our grandson 8year old "Bird" had so much fun, he will be talking about this for months if not until next year when we meet back up with Knotty Girl crew for another charter......yes we had our limit in a few hours and at one point had 4 fish on at one time. We want to thank captain Steve and first mate Brad for their knowledge such a memorable trip.......top notch all the way......can't say this enough....."thank you"............Steve ,Velda, Bird (Clare)
Captain Steven and Brad were amazing from the start. By greeting my family which includes a 3 1/2 year old. The boat was so clean. They made sure we caught a lot of fish and the water was so calm. We was so blessed that day. I definitely would recommend you taking his charter again. We are going to book with him again. We live in Florida so Captain Steve is shipping our fish to us. Thank you much for the best trip ever.
We hit the morning off strong catching 12 of our 15 limit within the first two hours. It was getting hectic on the boat and about the time we turned around to get back to the fish they were biting away! I would recommend this to everybody, they have everything you need on board. Every season I’ll be coming back to fill the freezer. Thanks a lot you guys!
Family group of 4, for some it was first-time experience on a fishing charter. Steve and Brad were great - skilled, friendly and worked hard to ensure we had a good catch - almost 60 lbs of salmon that gave us all a fun challenge to reel in! This was our 2nd time booking with Knotty Girl, will definitely be returning every year!
Capt. Steve & 1st mate Brad were great, they got us on some fish quickly and worked their tails off setting up and changng gear throughout the afternoon. I brought my 2 teenage sons & 2 of their friends, everyone reeled in a big King! Great experience for our 1st Ludington charter, thanks again!!
