Highlight of our vacation

Half Day Trip (AM)4 adults

Captain Caleb knew all the tricks. He was patient with our lack of experience and was super informative on lake history fish species. Moreover, he was easy to strike up a conversation with making the experience that much more enjoyable. His goal was to make sure we caught fish and experienced the most amount of time on the water by coordinating launch site to increase fishing time. Amazing experience. Would do it again and would recommend tj anyone visiting the UP even if you aren't into fishing.

    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.
