Family's First Fishing Trip

6 Hour Trip-Salmon Fishing-5:00AM5 adults3 children

Captain Steve and first mate Brad were great. We took our three young kids out for their first trip and they loved it. The Knotty Girl III was perfect with lots of space for all the kids. Brad was great with the kids, helping them hold their catches and even showing them a quick magic trick. We caught plenty of fish and went home with a freezer full of fillets. Thank you Captain Steve and Brad for making our trip to Ludington one of our favorite family memories. We hope to be back again next year.

    Amazing best trip ever!!

    6 Hour Trip-Salmon Fishing-3:00PM • 4 adults • 1 child

    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.

    Steve and Brad were awesome!

    Spring Special-6 hour Morning Trip • 4 adults

    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!

    Amazing fishing trip!

    6 Hour Trip-Salmon Fishing-3:00PM • 4 adults

    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!
