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.
