I've been fishing since I could walk. I got into fishing Lake Superior fishing 20 years ago shore casting, then small boat trolling, then ice fishing, and finally into the bigger boat. I'm a total fishing addict.

    Great guy, great time!

    Half Day Charter - 11:00 AM • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had an absolute blast with James. Authentic, fun captain to spend time with. Super knowledgeable about the lake and the fisheries. Learned a ton, caught six bike lake trout without driving a ton. Beautiful day on the water, core memory for my 9 year old son. Cannot recommend highly enough!
