Experience World-Class Fishing in Lake Superior with I'd Rather Be Fishing Charters

Lake Superior, renowned for its superb fishing, offers an exceptional freshwater angling experience. Explore this vast fishing ground with I'd Rather Be Fishing Charters and delve into the exciting lake adventure that awaits you!

You'll be fishing from the "Rendezvous II", a 32' flybridge boat manufactured by Trojan. Powered by twin Chevy engines with 225 HP each, this vessel reaches a maximum cruising speed of 23 knots – impressive for its size on this magnificent lake. With a comfortable capacity for up to 6 anglers, the boat guarantees a delightful fishing experience. Originally built in 1982 and restored in 2015, it combines modern amenities with trusted boat craftsmanship.

Guiding you on this fishing charter is Captain Nathan Fondness. He will lead you to a variety of stunning local species, including Pike, Walleye, Musky, Chinook, Coho Salmon, as well as Brown, Lake, and Steelhead Trouts. Light tackle is exclusively used to optimize the challenge and excitement of the fight.

Captain Nathan will take you up to 15 miles offshore, so it is advisable to dress appropriately for the elements. There is no age restriction for children aboard I'd Rather Be Fishing Charters. Clients should also bring polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, and a waterproof camera. While the Rendezvous II is disabled accessible, customers are encouraged to inform the captain in advance to discuss specific arrangements.
