Captain Steve and Brad were the best hosts to our venture on the big lake out of Ludington for our grandson’s 10th birthday fishing wish.  The Knotty Girl was just the right size for our party which included two young boys and adults.  The crew put us on the fish from the start and kept us active with multiple poles simultaneously in play.  The crew took the time to interact with the boys talking about the various species of fish caught and types of lures we used.  But by far we enjoyed...

Captain Steve and Deck Hand Brad were fintastic. We were on fish within 20 minutes of leaving dock and the first was a big king!  We finished the day back at the cleaning station with 13 fish which were a mix of king, coho, steelhead, and lake trout…just missed out on the grand slam by a brown trout but we all had fun settling for a home run with all 4 of us reeling in multiple fish. Big ones at that! Back at the dock, they cleaned our mess of fish and got us in touch with Jamesport Brewing... More

This half day trip did not disappoint! The boat & crew were all we could hope for, along with the catch! Brad and Steve were patient, kind and fun with our younger kids, and very knowledgeable on the water. We knew what to expect before the trip, and Steve was quick to respond with any questions.

We had a great time with Captain Steve on the Knotty Girl!  We went as a family with 2 adults and 3 kids.  There was ample space on the boat for all of us!  The boat was very stable given its 43’ size, and we didn’t even feel any waves as we trolled for salmon!  Most importantly, we caught 6 fish including a huge king salmon!  We will definitely be back!  Thanks Captain Steve!
