Knotty Girl Charter Fishing invites you to experience the stunning waters of Ludington. With Captain Steven at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

These waters are home to Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and more if conditions are right. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

You'll be dropping lines from a 22' Skeeter dual console that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures.

Before coming aboard, it may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's always wise to bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Knotty Girl Charter Fishing is just a click away.
