North Pier Charters
Excited to go fishing in Superior? Make it happen, with North Pier Charters! With Captain Ben at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands. We do fish in MN waters only, so you will need to have a MN fishing license and Great Lakes stamp.
Atlantic Salmon, Walleye, Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, Coho Salmon, Brown Trout, and more are in the cards, depending on when you go.
For these species, you're likely to troll using light or heavy tackle.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 34' Cruiser with room for 6 passengers. It has downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.
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 may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's recommended to bring bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with North Pier Charters.

Bill Collins5.0VerifiedLoving Lake Superior
Half Day Trip (PM) on June 28, 2026 • 4 adultsMy dad fished Lake Superior for Lake Trout many years ago so it has been a bucket list trip for me to follow the family tradition. Safety is upper most in my mind on such a big lake and there is no better Captain than Ben. He and his first mate used their expertise to make this a super comfortable trip and successfully found fish for me to hook and land. I plan on making this a yearly adventure. Highly recommended!
Miranda Carlos5.0VerifiedCaught a HUGE lake trout!

Half Day Trip (PM) on September 2, 2023 • 4 adultsOur group went in early September and had an amazing time. They caught a few fish, did some sightseeing, and made some great memories. Every member of the group came back planning their next trip and had nothing but great things to say about their experience, the boat, and the crew. Thank you Captain Ben and crew! See you in May.

Morning trip with Captain Ben
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 8, 2023 • 3 adultsCaptain Ben and First Mate Connor went above and beyond expectations trying to get fish to bite. The fishing was slow, but the boat, gear and crew were top notch! We will definitely be fishing with them again.
Craig Ingalls5.0VerifiedA great day
Full Day Trip on August 19, 2023 • 2 adultsCaptain Ben is a great guide and a good man. He put us on the fish and he had some good conversations. A solid and safe boat, clean and well outfitted. We definitely call Captain Ben again!
Robert Kowalski5.0VerifiedBeautiful day on the lake!!
Half Day Trip (PM) on August 23, 2026 • 6 adultsCaptain Ben was a great guide - very easy going, patient, and was happy to answer questions. He really had his act together and was genuinely concerned that we had what we needed. The fish didn’t cooperate as much as he would have liked but we all had a fantastic day on the water, nonetheless. I would highly recommend this charter to anyone.

Ben and Grace were great. It was a slow day, but Ben got us on some walleye and lake trout. Ben and Grace kept changing lures and baits to see what the fish wanted. Great personalities and fun to fish with. I hope to book with them again.

Superior, Wisconsin, United States
I moved to Duluth in 2005 and soon fell in love with fishing Lake Superior. In June of 2022, I purchased my 34' Silverton and began working toward starting my own Fishing Charter. We are very excited to begin a new season in 2024!
