BUSINESSES

A 30 foot Trojan Yacht is your chartered watercraft for fishing and/or cruising. Lots of space with covered shelter to get out of the weather, a head and table space that seats four are some of the amenities. All the latest fishing equipment is provided. Your charter experience includes hands-on help with setting up the lines, picking your bait and bating the hooks. From there on, all that's necessary is patience because the fish may take awhile to bite.

By far, the most fun fishing Lake Superior is when the fish are on the surface and eager to feed. While fishing you don't know which species have been hooked. The fish species are Lake Trout, Walleye, Coho, Chinook, and King Salmon. P All you need to bring is warm clothing, rubber or soft sole shoes, MN DNR angling license with a Great Lake Trout Stamp, sun and wind protection along with your food and beverages. Beer is ok, if well tolerated on choppy waters. You don't want to get sick. Final reminder, don't forget a cooler to haul your fish in. Minnesota residents over the age of 65 don't require a Great Lakes Trout Stamp. Kids under 16 don't require a license or stamp.

This is a great time to take your father or brothers or sister out fishing. We can take up to six (6) people on board for fishing or sight seeing. Veterans will get a discount on the fishing trip and Disabled American Veterans with a Chapter local in Minnesota will get an additional discount. Proof of being a disabled veterans is a DD-214 or a VAMC Card. A DAV Member must have a chapter card for the discount. No other proof is required.
