  August fishing trip

  Half Day Trip (PM) on August 5, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

  We had a great trip me my wife and son was on a road trip so we booked it last minute. Captain Rob was great to go with we stayed in the harbor because there was big waves out on the lake. Captain Rob also knew a lot of history and very knowledgeable about all the surroundings which made it much more enjoyable out on the boat. I would highly recommend anybody wanting to go on lake superior go with borderline adventures. thanks again to Captain Rob for also letting our son pick out lures that he would want to use casting lines and making some decisions. I would recommend anybody taking their kids.

  Best 30th Anniversary!

  Half Day Trip (PM) on September 24, 2024 • 2 adults

  I surprised my husband for our 30th anniversary with an afternoon fishing trip with Captain Rob and his Dad. We had the best time out on the water and this gift will be hard to top for future anniversaries! With Captain Rob's professionalism and expertise, we caught 2 beautiful Lake Trout and experienced the most beautiful and colorful sunset I have ever seen. He also gave us great tips on how to catch salmon on the MN north shores for once we were back on shore. His first mate (his Dad), was so nice and was concerned the whole trip on our comfort and wanted to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. They are both so kind and really made this trip our best experience ever! I recommend Borderline Adventures to anyone in the area and we will definitely book another trip if we are ever anywhere near there again.

  Great time and great guide!

  Half Day Trip (AM) on June 10, 2024 • 2 adults

  Captain Rob and his dad took my girlfriend and I out on their boat to troll for lake trout. Before going on the trip, he was very communicative and answered all of our questions. When we arrived, he was super excited and took us out on the water. He shared his knowledge with us and what we were fishing for and how we were fishing rather than just saying "wait for a fish" after setting up the lines. We caught three good size lake trout and lost another fish close to the boat. He provided plenty of snacks, water, and anything else we needed to have a good time. It was great talking with him as well. Some guides aren't very personable or nice, but that was not the case here! Would highly recommend to anyone!

  Highly recommended!

  Half Day Trip (PM) on August 7, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

  Our oldest son wanted to go fishing for his 13th birthday. Our experience exceed our expectations in SO many ways! The Captain and first mate were incredible. They taught our kids so much about fishing, were beyond patient with the 1000 questions they asked, made the trip enjoyable and honestly - we will 100% be back. The boat was super clean and provided everything we needed and then some! They made our fishing trip so enjoyable. Highly recommend booking with them.

  Determined

  Full Day Trip on August 31, 2024 • 4 adults

  Captain Robert and his crew out did expectations. The early part of the trip was a little off, but as we moved across the water opportunities became more and more. The highlight of the trip was the Herring! This alone is going to be the highlight for a very long time. The determination of Captain Robert and his crew proved beyond doubt they will do what can be done to ensure a memorable experience.
