Our Grandson’s Birthday Wish

6 Hour Trip-Salmon Fishing-5:00AM6 adults3 children

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 the pure look of joy expressed on the face of our grandson as he landed his 30+ pound Salmon! We’ll surely book with the Knotty Girl again. Papa & Nana

    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!
