Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Lenny consistently delivers exceptional fishing results, with customers regularly limiting out early and filling coolers with King Salmon, Steelhead, and Lake Trout. His expertise shines through precise predictions of when and where fish will bite, often outperforming other boats on the water. Lenny maintains clean, well-equipped boats with new gear and works tirelessly to keep lines in the water, helping net fish and providing complete cleaning services at trip's end. Customers appreciate Lenny's patient, instructional approach that makes trips enjoyable for everyone from first-time anglers to experienced fishermen. He demonstrates exceptional skill with children, helping young anglers reel in their first fish while capturing memorable photos.

Lenny is great!! We had so much fun and brought home a cooler of meat! His boat was big and clean. He was such a hard worker ensuring all our lines were perfect, helping us net / kill the fish, and cleaning them for us at the end! We can’t recommend enough and hope to come back for the steelhead

Morning trip out of Manistee with Captain Lenny right after Labor Day 2024 produced plenty of action with 9 out of 10 fish being around 20# !! Cap Lenny is the most skilled charter captain we have ever fished with and a lot of fun to boot - when he is not working his butt off. Highly recommend booking on Slip Knot!

Best fishing trip we have had in years!! Captain Lenny is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, knows the area well. We are already working on booking a return trip end of this summer! If you aren’t using Slipknot Charters you aren’t catching fish!!!

Captain Lenny was great! What a great trip. We caught triple the fish than any other boat on our trip. Very instructional and made it fun for everyone. Will definitely be booking more trips with him.

Captain Lenny does a great job getting us on fish and keeping the lines in the water. Big waves, big fish! Thank you for a great time. Very accommodating when the weather made us reschedule.

My daughter and son-in-law planned to come here to see me from Maryland. They both enjoy fishing, and they were excited to cast a line in Lake Michigan. I asked around to find a good charter. I was informed that Captain Lenny knew where to get fish. This proved to be entirely accurate. He correctly anticipated the time and location of our fish capture. We caught enough King Salmon to fill an entire huge cooler. We were all really happy. It was the ideal day trip! Next year, we intend to repeat this.

My daughter and son-in-law made arrangements to see me here from Maryland. They are both fishermen who wanted to go fishing on Lake Michigan. I asked around for a reputable charter service. I was told that Captain Lenny knew where to find fish. This proved to be entirely correct. He predicted exactly when and where we would catch salmon. We caught enough King Salmon to fill a large cooler. We were all overjoyed! It was the ideal outing! We intend to repeat this next year.
