Hammer Time Charters
Welcome to Hammer Time Charters. I am Mike Andler and for 35 years I have successfully fished the waters of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Canada. Throughout my time I have developed a passion for fishing and a desire to share that passion with others. Join me on Lake Superior, one of the greatest locations in North America for lake trout, brown trout, rainbow trout and walleye. I am Coast Guard licensed, first aid/CPR certified, and fully insured.
Your boat for the day will be a 24’ Century walkaround and rigged with all the modern navigation technology. The boat can sit up to 3 anglers, has got a toilet and a bed you can use. There is plenty of space to store your fish, food, and drinks.
You and your guide will be trolling Lake Superior for Lake, Brown, and Rainbow Trout as well as Walleye and Salmon. You’re free to choose if you’ll release the fish you reel in or take it home.
Captain Mike will provide the fishing tackle, lures, and even fish cleaning and filleting. Kids are welcome to join the trip. Before you come aboard, just make sure to have your licenses, snacks, and drinks.
Hammer Time Charters and Captain Mike are waiting for you!

Lives Up to Its Name
At first I thought I'd want to charter a 32' boat, but luckily a co worker and experienced fisherman told me by the time the waves are bad for a 24' boat a 32' is not going to be any better. I brought my two sons on the trip, one who turned 10 that day. Captain Mike was considerate as to how all of us were doing, had some extra water, bug spray etc. Things started slow and then, hammer time! We had a good hour straight of catching fish constantly with occasional catches through most of our half day. Ended up with 8 fish, and the boys and I had a blast. Mike was busy, informative and supportive the entire time. If you have 3 or less people and want a fishing charter experience, booking with Mike is a no brainer. We even caught a coho!

Lake Superior full day trip
An amazing day with fish and fun!
This was the greatest experience we could ask for! Capitan Mike and first mate Merl are top notch - they put us on fish and made sure we enjoyed our trip with plenty of action and good conversation ! I highly recommend Hammer Time to make memories with friends and family. Great day on the water and Captain Mike made sure fish were cleaned, bagged and iced for the long ride home.

Captain Mike was great! Easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and helped us get a good catch. Cleaned them as well. When we go back to Lake Superior to fish we will definitely be contacting him again!

Awesome Time
Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or absolutely new to the sport, Hammer Time Fishing Charters will help you enjoy your time on the water! It was a “hard-bite” day but Captain Mike played every trick in the book to get fish in the boat! We were getting bites when others were not. My wife and I will make a return trip.
