    Great fishing on Lake Superior!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Capt. Caleb was on time, thoroughly professional, friendly, and he obviously knows his way around Lake Superior fishing. We caught more lake trout than we had room for in our freezer! This was only our second time fishing in any of the Great Lakes, and our first time fishing Lake Superior, and Capt. Caleb made it fun and memorable. We highly recommend Capt. Caleb, and if we're ever back in this area we'll want to go out with him again.

    Reported catch:
    Lake Trout

    Had a blast fishing with Black Shadow Guide Service

    We kept 8 Lake Trout between the 4 of us and we stayed out a few minutes past our 4 hour trip. He was very knowledgeable and patient with everyone! I would definitely recommend this fishing guide and reach out to him if we’re ever in the area again.

    The first three hours were unseasonably warm and calm. The last hour got cold windy and rough. The fish weren’t biting very good, but we each caught a fish, and missed a few. Over all very enjoyable.
