Lenny is AwEsOmE ! He is very knowledgeable about when, where and how to catch fish. It's a bonus that he's just a great guy and a pleasure to fish with. He works sooo hard. I don't know how he does it !

We took a trip with Captain Lenny and filled up the cooler before noon. I had a fantastic time and learned a lot. Slipknot Charters (Captain Lenny) is highly recommend to anyone looking to catch some big kings.

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.
