Captain
Ben Johnson

Member since June 2023 Superior, United States
Background
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!
Techniques
Spring usually starts with fishing surface or near the surface with planer boards. As the water warms, we begin running a little deeper, often with dipsy divers and lead core. Later in the season, we transition to downriggers.
