Maybe it was the cold snap in mid-July, maybe it was the great crew, we know it wasn’t our expert angling… but whatever the cause, we caught BIG fish and GREAT numbers! The captain was patient out group aged 4 to 74. We caught about a dozen lakers, and a coho and king salmon to boot. We lost a few too on our own account. With the amount of fish we had, we elected to wrap up our half-day trip a half hour early to catch the next lift bridge passing. It took some hustle to get lines in, but Joe... More

Took my 8 year old avid fisherman on his first Lake Superior charter and caught his first Lake Trout, Coho Salmon, and King Salmon! Had a great time and Captain got us on the bite quickly. He was great at answering questions and getting the fish in the boat!

Captian and 1st mate knew what they were doing! Even if we hadn’t caught a 28 inch lake trout, the experience was worth it! I would recommend these guys to anyone! Thank you for a great fising trip from both of us!

We had 2 fish in less than 30 minutes. Know one else had any fish yet. It was a windy afternoon and Happy Hooker (Peter) torpedoed us head on so he could copy our route. Not good outcome. We had no choice to run over his planner board and rope ended up around our lines and down rigger cables. What a mess. We were left with no lines in water for a hour. Joe got us back on course and caught 5 more fish. If you don’t want to catch fish go with happy hooker. They came up empty! Great job Joe!!!

I booked this trip for my husband & 2 sons ( ones autistic),  they had such an amazing time, I’d give him 10 stars!  They learned a lot about the lake, & caught many fish. This by far was the best money I spent in Duluth.  His staff Jack & Fiancé were so kind, great people they can’t wait to do it again. Bonus is they were understanding to my son with autism so that makes a mom proud. ( other boats went out & didn’t catch fish) Thank you all for the memories... More
