Happy Hooker Charters – "Aluminauti"
Happy Hooker Charters runs angling trips out of Duluth and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.
Captain James Cotner (previously Captain of Happy Hooker’s "Hooker Too") will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in Great Lakes trolling, all to get you on that bite. This involves 5 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Walleye, Lake Trout, Salmon, and Rainbow Trout, depending on the season and conditions on the day. Captain James is a school teacher in the "off season" and loves teaching adults and kids about fishing Lake Superior!
You’ll be fishing from the "Aluminauti," a fully restored 32’ Marinette Express with enough room for up to 6 anglers at any single time. It also includes a toilet and ice box. All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip. Don’t forget to buy a fishing license before the trip!
Here to help you with anything you need, the first mate will be on hand during the trip. Leaving a tip for a job well done is much appreciated.
This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.
