    Good family time and great fishing!

    Full Day Trip – Offshore2 adults

    Our family had an outstanding experience on this charter fishing trip. From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew was approachable, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating, even arranging to pick us up on Madeline Island. What stood out most was how comfortable they made everyone feel, regardless of fishing experience. None of us are serious sport fishers, but they explained everything clearly, answered every question, and helped us every step of the way. We never felt intimidated or out of place. The atmosphere was family-friendly, inclusive, and encouraging. Safety was clearly their top priority. Within minutes of boarding, both kids were fitted with secure life jackets, and everyone on the boat wore slim-profile flotation gear throughout the trip. It was reassuring to know the crew was CPR-certified and equipped with both first-aid supplies and an AED. They were careful, professional, and genuinely kind. The crew’s knowledge of the lake, fishing conditions, and local environment was impressive. When equipment tangled or something broke, they handled it quickly and calmly without any frustration or drama, keeping the experience fun and stress-free. The lunch was excellent, and booking the full-day trip was absolutely worth it. We were able to travel further out on the lake, enjoy more solitude, and fish in areas where we didn’t see another boat for hours. If you’re considering a charter fishing trip, especially as a family, I can’t recommend this crew highly enough. They made the entire day enjoyable, educational, safe, and memorable.

    Full day and half day trips

    AM - Half Day Trip – Nearshore3 adults

    Captain Sean was great both days, we had a different first mate each day. Josh AKA “The Perfect Catch” (c; was up on the first day and Al joined us the second day. All three were great guys very personable and great fishing buddies! The first day we landed 18 lake trout. I’m pretty sure Josh may have out fished the Captin that day. On the 1/2 day trip I know Al out fished Sean, with Al hooking all 4 and Sean with the 🪿 🥚 (c; Would highly recommend this charter!! We will plan to be back next year god willing.

    Great Experience

    PM - Half Day Trip - Nearshore2 adults

    Fishing was a little slow, but not because the crew wasn’t trying everything they could to get us on fish! Sometimes that’s just how fishing goes. 🎣 The crew made the trip worth it—they were friendly, outgoing, and kept the conversation going the whole time. Great crew, great experience, and we’re already looking forward to going again!

    Fishing with Sean

    AM - Half Day Trip – Nearshore4 adults

    I booked this charter for a surprise birthday trip. I was initially nervous going into it considering my husband is an experienced fishermen. This charter took him by surprise and we ended up having so much fun! What a wonderful way for experienced and non-experienced fishermen to go fishing! we wouldn’t dream of going to a different charter!

    AM - Half Day Trip – Nearshore3 adults

    They contacted us the day prior to explain forecasted high wind conditions and were able to reschedule the trip one day later. Overall excellent timely communication and were able to pick is up at Madeline Island so we didnt need to travel to Bayview. shared alot of interesting information about Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands.
