Bayfield is a tourist town, so the weekends are very busy, but the charter is south of town a few miles and not so busy.

It's best to fish in Spring or Fall. And early morning or afternoon. We fished in the middle of the summer, and the middle of the day. We would have caught more fish if we had followed the best fishing times above.

The boat and crew were great. The fishing was a bit slow. We managed to land 3 fish and had a few get away. All-in-all it was a good half day on the lake and my guests enjoyed the experience. I would use them again.

Captain Sean and Al were very friendly and helpful. Made a great lunch and had plenty of snacks and beverages. Fishing was the best we've ever had on a charter trip. 6 of us caught over 20 Lake Trout. 2 were over 32 inches. Kept our 12 and threw the rest back. The boat was very nice. We would definitely recommend, and we'll be back. Thank you!!!!

Captain Dave knows how to find fish and he knows how to catch them. Better yet, he'll teach you how to rig and run lines, how to read the lake, and how to get the fish into the boat. We'll be hiring him again.

Great guide with a passion for fishing! Dave worked hard jiggering all the lines while we enjoyed the suspense of reeling in the big ones. 2 adults and two teens had their fill (and thrills!) of keeping 8 trout (splake, brown and lake) and throwing the monster 31” lake trout back (after photos of course) to preserve the trout populations in Lake Superior. A guide with a heart. We cannot wait to fish with Dave again!

After booking, Sean and Savanna checked in with me multiple times on licensing, directions, details, etc. while leading up to the trip. On the boat Sean and Al were great, they never took a break for the full 8 hour off-shore trip we booked. We caught fish, they made lunch, we caught more fish and they took us on a complimentary sea caves viewing route and had all of the fish cleaned and packaged by the time we docked at the end of the day. Highly recommend this group!

Captain Dave was great, knowledgeable, friendly and we caught more fish then we expected. The sun was shining, we laughed and felt 100%.comfortable with Dave. He took the time to answer all our questions, explained Lake Superior, history and that morning charter with Dave was the highlight of our trip!!
