3/4 Day Charter (AM) on September 4, 2025 • 5 adultsI booked a charter with Captain James for the day before my wedding to try my luck on Lake Superior for the third time. It was by far the best experience I’ve ever had on a charter trip. James was easy to get along with, explained what we were doing and why, gave tips on fishing, and put us on both numbers and trophy fish. The pictures say it all but I finally have a charter experience under my belt with the photo everyone hopes for, loads of fish and a bunch of bros smiling ear to ear cuz of the big ones.
Juerg Tschirren•Iowa, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedGreat Experience
Half Day Charter on August 13, 2025 • 3 adultsWe faced difficult water conditions on the morning of our trip (significant drop in water temperature). James lived up to the challenge and got us into king salmon and lake trout. We filled our cooler! Back home we fired up the smoker and followed the recipe from James' web page. This was the best smoked fish fillets we ever had!

3/4 Day Charter (AM) on August 7, 2025 • 4 adultsCaptain James, We want to thank you again for an excellent outing and adventure on Lake Superior last Thursday. The weather- superb. The fishing- excellent. Your skill and experience- remarkable. You put us on some nice fish. This was one of the highlights of our vacation. 1000 thanks from the Johnson family.
James (Jim) Stanton•Texas, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedPerfect!
Half Day Charter on July 29, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenThanks for a great day James. So good with the kids as well as adults. The “Google Pin” was perfect for finding the Marina. Loved that there wasn’t. A long ride to the fish. Fish were right outside the marina. So, a 4-hour trip was 3:45 of fishing. Thanks James and we’ll be back!

Half Day Charter - 11:00 AM on August 7, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childWe 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!

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.
