My Husband and I have fished Ludington charters several times with a dear family friend but have not been back since 2013 after loosing our beloved Capt to Cancer.  We decided we needed to get back and share this wonderful experience with our kids but we had some huge shoes to fill Capt. wise.  Well… Capt. Steve and first Mate Brad did not disappoint!  They were absolutely wonderful!  Extremely friendly and professional too.  The Boat was super clean and very well cared for and the fishing gear was top of the line.  They worked their butts off to produce fish for us and boy did we catch the fish!  Most importantly to us,  they were GREAT to my children!  Extremely child friendly boat!  We have already shared the contact info for this boat and crew with several of our family members and friends looking for a great trip.  We also will be contacting Capt Steve to set up more trips next season.  We highly recommend this beautiful boat and this amazing crew.

Ps..  Our kids said they can’t wait to come back!  But,  they only want to fish with Capt. Steve and Mr. Brad!  That makes it worth every penny!

We slayed the salmon.  This was a trip to celebrate a young man’s wedding.  It couldn’t have been more awesome-

The crew of the Knotty Girl, Captains Brad and Steve, are simply the kind of men to give you a great opportunity to catch a lot of fish and have a professionally guided experience.

Big Thanks to you two from our whole group.

Booked the trip to give my 9yr old son a taste of Lake Michigan and salmon fishing.  Capt Steve and Brad were top!  Their knowledge and experience had us pulling fish before we could set the second line … and it lasted for half the morning.  They were super pleasant and really focused on their clients and providing a rewarding experience.  Most importantly, they showed extreme patience with a 9yr old, teaching, guiding, instructing and answer questions.

I highly recommend this charter with Knotty Girl!

Our original charter we had booked canceled on us at the last minute.  Turned out to be a good thing.  Steve and Brad were outstanding.  They worked their butts off for us.  When the fishing slowed they changed lures often.  And it paid off, we ended up with almost twice as many fish as most of the other charter boats we saw when we came in. We had a newbee with us and they were very patient and helpful with her and her first salmon was a 28 pound king followed by a big steelhead.  She is hooked for life now. Steve and Brad are very knowledgeable and helpful.  We highly recommend them and will look them up next August for sure.

After a last minute cancellation with another charter, we were so happy to find The Knotty Girl. As group of first timers celebrating a birthday, we did not know what to expect. Steve and Brad were excellent hosts sharing all kinds of information on fishing, the area and stories of tournaments they competed in. The boat was clean and well maintained. When there was a fish on they quickly sprang into action and expertly instructed us on how to reel it in. The ride was beautiful and we would have been happy even if we didn’t catch a thing. Of course we did, because of Steve and Brad’s hard work. And the Birthday girl (mom) caught the biggest fish. It was meant to be! I would recommend The Knotty Girl to anyone looking for an adventure on the water.
