What to bring
Warm clothes
The weather on Lake Superior can be unpredictable, and we recommend dressing in layers with a waterproof shell.
Camera
Besides taking pictures of your catch, Lake Superior offers some of the most beautiful scenery and sunrises you can imagine. You will also have opportunities to take photos of ships, wildlife, and, of course, the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge.
Sunscreen
We provide sunscreen on the boat, but it is recommended that you bring your own to ensure you have your preferred brand and SPF.
Sunglasses
Just trust us here.
Valid Licensing
A valid annual MN fishing license and trout stamp or a valid 24-hour Minnesota fishing license (no stamp required). You can purchase these at most convenience or bait stores, or you can buy your license online (link below). It is highly recommended that you take care of this before you arrive at the dock.
For your convenience, here’s a link to the MN DNR Online Licensing Page https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/licenses/fishing/index.html
A cooler and any food or beverage you wish to bring
A cooler will allow you to keep your catch fresh as you transport it home. We’ll even clean and package the fish for you! Bottled water will be provided on the boat, but any other beverages or food are up to you to provide.
A positive attitude!
It’s simple: fish bite better when everyone on board has a positive attitude. At FishNorth, we strive to provide you with the most enjoyable day on the water possible. The reality of Lake Superior charter fishing is that there are days when the fish don’t cooperate. A positive attitude ensures that everyone has an enjoyable day regardless of how many fish find their way to the cooler.
Last but not least… absolutely no bananas!
Bringing bananas on board is likely the only way to take a smile off your captain’s face here at FishNorth. More information is available on the boat.
The boats we will be fishing on are 36’ and 40’ long.
Full amenities.
