Meet Captain Zander Ziemski: I have been fishing on Lake Superior since I was 6 years old. I fell in love with it and have been working as a first mate for the last 8 years, which prompted me to start my own business. Join me for a great adventure on this amazing lake.

    Slow start but finished strong.

    5 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    A little chilly to start the day, with absolutely no wind. Lake Superior was just like a sheet of glass. Probably had something to do with no action for the first 90 minutes or so. Once the lake had a little more rippling motion, things heated up. At one point we had a triple header going. We ended up landing a bakers dozen again. 3rd year in a row that we have gone out with Zander, and he has always steered us to the firsh. Another awesome trip, and we are already trying to figure out what date to go again next year. We have always had results going out with Zander. I would highly recommend joining him if you are planning on fishing near the Apostle Islands. Thanks again for another memorable trip, and we will be seeing you again next year, Trevor

    Response from Captain

    Great Captain

    5 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM • 4 adults

    I have fished with many charters and Zander is one of the best. Very patient and engaging with kids, boat is immaculate and gear is well maintained. Had 5 on at once and Zander was able to calmly work with the kids and net 4, lost one due to a head shake near the boat otherwise we would have had all five with three kids doing the reeling. Highly recommend Zander.

    A Great Trip!

    5 Hour Trip • 5 adults

    What an awesome experience, Zander was a great guide! He was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. At first we weren’t catching much, however, Zander knew exactly where to take us next to catch more fish! If we come back in the area we would definitely book another trip! Doing the morning trip for our family of five was the perfect length of time!

    Zander is very knowledgeable on getting us on fish. This is our second charter with him he’s such a pleasure to deal with. Any questions we asked he knew. He made it so enjoyable we’re making it an annual trip. His deck mate Nate wasn’t bad either
