Book your next trip with Eliminator Sportfishing and find out what keeps anglers coming back to Bayfield for more.

Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and more inhabit these waters if you come at the right time of year. For these species, you're likely to troll.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

You'll find yourself aboard a 33' Tiara offshore sport fishing vessel that holds up to 6 passengers. It has downriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Zander will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and offering them a 10–20% tip is customary.

Before coming aboard, you may need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

You can't go wrong when you bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask.

Eliminator Sportfishing will make it easy for you to go fishing in Bayfield. So, how about booking that trip?

    A Great Trip!

    5 Hour Trip on June 22, 2026 • 5 adults

    What an awesome experience, Zander was a great guide! He was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. At first we weren’t catching much, however, Zander knew exactly where to take us next to catch more fish! If we come back in the area we would definitely book another trip! Doing the morning trip for our family of five was the perfect length of time!

    5 Hour Trip on May 22, 2026 • 6 adults

    Zander is very knowledgeable on getting us on fish. This is our second charter with him he’s such a pleasure to deal with. Any questions we asked he knew. He made it so enjoyable we’re making it an annual trip. His deck mate Nate wasn’t bad either

Slow start but finished strong.
5 Hour Trip on April 29, 2026 • 3 adults

A little chilly to start the day, with absolutely no wind. Lake Superior was just like a sheet of glass. Probably had something to do with no action for the first 90 minutes or so. Once the lake had a little more rippling motion, things heated up. At one point we had a triple header going. We ended up landing a bakers dozen again. 3rd year in a row that we have gone out with Zander, and he has always steered us to the firsh. Another awesome trip, and we are already trying to figure out what date to go again next year. We have always had results going out with Zander. I would highly recommend joining him if you are planning on fishing near the Apostle Islands. Thanks again for another memorable trip, and we will be seeing you again next year, Trevor

Great Captain
5 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on August 13, 2026 • 4 adults

I have fished with many charters and Zander is one of the best. Very patient and engaging with kids, boat is immaculate and gear is well maintained. Had 5 on at once and Zander was able to calmly work with the kids and net 4, lost one due to a head shake near the boat otherwise we would have had all five with three kids doing the reeling. Highly recommend Zander.
