Coho are still biting!

Jun 15, 2023 Duluth

As we move to summer patterns and techniques, we are transitioning from fishing the top 10-15ft with stick baits and shallow dipsy divers to adding in some downriggers, and leadcores with spoons. We are finding good water temps down to around 45-55ft. Lakers are eating with coho becoming less frequent. The kings are slowly starting to show up. This will be a memorable year for coho as they are bigger than in years past, assumably due to this years herring fry boom. Tight lines! -Capt James Happy Hooker “Aluminauti”

First trip of the season

May 6, 2018 Duluth

Due to the great weather the last two weeks the ice has melted and the water has warmed up enought for some great coho salmon action. Great morning with some great guys and gal. Stickbaits on the surface and spoons at 10ft. Seven Coho salmon

Half Day Trip (PM)

While vacationing in Duluth, I decided to take my son and grandson on a charter fishing trip. We chose the Happy Hookers and the boat the Aluinauti. We had a fantastic time with captain Jamie and first meet Jack. We caught five very nice fish, salmon, and lake trout. They did everything to make the trip fun for everyone. We might have to make that one an annual trip.

Captain went against all odds to get fish. Amazing morning!! Limit of Vohos by 8:30 am. Cap took us to Lake Trout heaven. Took me 20mins to reel in my 12 lb. Lake trout. Limited out quickly and on our way home in a half a day!
