Paulsen's Quickstrike 

Paulsen's Quickstrike specializes in guided trips out of Duluth, MN and Superior, WI on mighty Lake Superior and its surrounding tributaries. If your goal is to have a fishing trip of a lifetime, you have found the right place.

Your guide Kent Paulsen has been mastering those waters for many years. Even though he knows the area like the back of his hand, he never stops exploring Lake Superior and learning new techniques to land big fish. Kent will work hard to make sure you have a productive trip and come back to shore with your very own 'catch of the day.'

Using tournament-proven methods and the finest gear and tackle by Okuma and Daiwa, you will be targeting the lake's 'superstars.' Those include Salmon, Brown Trout, Walleye, Lake Trout, and Steelhead. Your technique for the day will be anything from jigging and casting to trolling live bait and fly fishing.

Captain Kent will take you out aboard the 'Quickstrike'', a 33' Tiara Flybridge. She is a spacious, seaworthy fishing machine with twin 270 HP Chevy engines and plenty of space for up to 6 anglers. Quickstrike is fitted with a Simrad radar, along with Hummingbird electronics and other top of the line gear.

All trips come with rods, reels, tackle, bait, fly fishing equipment, lures, and catch cleaning. You will need to purchase your own fishing license and bring something to eat and drink.

Captain Kent caught the new Minnesota state record Coho Salmon in 2023 and has a knack for finding trophy fish when no one else can.
