Fishing Lake Superior

 

Our destination fishing trip on the big lake called "Gitche Gumee" or other wise known as Lake Superior by many offers a chance to fish the final frontier of uncharted waters in search of species such as native Lake Trout, Coho, Steelhead and Splake. In the crystal clear cool waters of Superior you just may encounter the fish of a life time. Spend a half or full day trolling the Pictured Rocks Lakeshore searching for Coho and Splake and enjoy a sight seeing tour while you reel in dinner. For the adventure of a life time we offer remote off-shore reef fishing for native Lake Trout. The Lakers that swim these waters grow extremely slowly and finding a fish of a lifetime could happen to you! We go big when we go off-shore, we will be out of sight of land most days and will spend 10 plus hours on the water searching out a GIANT Lake Trout. If complete seclusion and fish that have never witnessed a fishing lure is your idea of fun please consider this trip!
