With Captain Elija at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide. With 6 years experience running a fulltime outfitting service, and a lifetime of experience fishing the St. Lawrence and Black Lake.

Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Yellow Perch, Crappie, and more are in the cards if you cast your line at the right time of year.

The St. Lawrence River is home to the state record Walleye, along with a strong population for table fare.
Its also known to be the number one Smallmouth fishery in the world!

On the day of your trip you're likely to cast light tackle, jig using spin rods, and drag bottom bouncers with spinners on line counters.

Capt. Elija welcomes you aboard a 21' center console with space for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures. Live bait is also included.

Before coming aboard, you will 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.

You can't go wrong when you bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation in US waters, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with North Wind Curls.

If you want to have a fun vacation book a day out on the water with Northwind Curls
5 Hour Trip – Smallmouth/Pike (AM) on July 7, 20262 adults

Had two great days out on the water with Captain Eilija Gilmour. He proved to be an experienced Captain with the ability to catch different species of fish. My grandson was able to catch a pb Walleye and Smallmouth bass. Elija shared his knowledge of the water freely and was able to accomadate an slightly handicapped member of our party. Do not hesitate to book one of his trips.

Reported catch:
Smallmouth Bass

The fish that got away
5 Hour Trip – Smallmouth/Pike (AM) on June 26, 20262 adults

Captan Eli communicated from the start of our booking to the day of fishing. Sadly, the fish avaded us; but Eli did his best to put us on to the fish. All in all, we had a fun time. The captain is wonderful working with the inexperienced. My friend caught one and the captain put me o one. Plan for changing weather when booking. Thank you!
