Your Captain has over 25 years of experience guiding customers on their private fishing charters and has spent the past decade fishing Lake Superior.

If you have any questions about techniques used or species targeted during your trip, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’d Rather Be Fishing Charters specializes in trolling with light tackle for Trout, Walleye, Salmon and Steelhead. Trolling is a fun technique where we drive the vessel and pull the bait behind us, waiting for the tug of the line. Once a fish is on, we’ll start reeling in to land your keeper. Captain and Crew are happy to help in any step of the process, it’s truly a team effort at times bringing the fish to the boat! Captain Nathan provides all your essentials for the trip, including gear, tackle, and bait. Everyone in your party should bring a valid Minnesota fishing license with Great Lakes Trout Stamp. A 24-hour license is available onboard, just check with Captain Nathan beforehand. Bring any food or beverages for the day (beer is okay, but no glass please), along with your camera. We also recommend warm cloths, sunglasses, and sunscreen for a great day on the lake. No more wishing about fishing… book today with I’d Rather Be Fishing Charters and let’s start bending some rods!
