Happy Hooker Charters – 5 Star Hooker
Happy Hooker Charters invites you to experience the stunning waters of Duluth. With Captain Matt at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
Depending on conditions, you might hook into Lake Trout, Salmon, Walleye, and whatever else is biting. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Don't forget to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!
Your fishing machine for the day is the 5 Star Hooker, a 32' Marinette cuddy cabin with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Capt. Matt will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures.
You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
Before coming aboard, you'll 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.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
And that's it! Your fishing trip with Happy Hooker Charters is just a click away.

We had a fun teambuilding experience out on Lake Superior. We caught King Salmon and Lake Trout. Great day and perfect weather out on the lake. Nice crew!

Thanks for coming out with us Jenna!
I grew up in Duluth, but I never really fished the big lake. We went out today and tied into a bunch of 3-5# Lakers. It was a lot of fun and exceeded expectations. I hope Matt gives me a call when the bite is on!

Thanks again Christopher, it was a pleasure having you guys onboard. I’ll definitely keep in touch.
