Great guy, great time!
Half Day Charter - 11:00 AM on August 7, 20262 adults1 child

We had an absolute blast with James. Authentic, fun captain to spend time with. Super knowledgeable about the lake and the fisheries. Learned a ton, caught six bike lake trout without driving a ton. Beautiful day on the water, core memory for my 9 year old son. Cannot recommend highly enough!

We had a great time and quickly got on the fish! Captain James did everything to make sure the trip went as smooth as possible. He was very informed on where to go, and made sure we knew what to do to get to our count. Could not have asked for a better day out!

I've been fishing since I could walk. I got into fishing Lake Superior fishing 20 years ago shore casting, then small boat trolling, then ice fishing, and finally into the bigger boat. I'm a total fishing addict.
