About Your Trip

Fish the lakes and reservoirs around Duluth, Minnesota on a trip built around flexibility, steady action, and putting you on fish. Whether you’re looking for a quick outing or a full day on the water, you can choose between half-day (AM/PM) or full-day (8-hour) trips tailored to your goals and experience level.

The focus is on targeting Walleye, one of the most sought-after freshwater species in the region, with additional opportunities for Northern Pike, Crappie, and Sunfish. If you’re looking to mix things up, multi-species trips are a great option—giving you the chance to stay active and chase a variety of fish throughout the day.

Fishing is done using a mix of light tackle, trolling, jigging, and spinning, adjusting based on conditions and how the fish are responding. Whether you’re working structure for walleye or covering water for active fish, the goal is to keep things hands-on and productive.

Half-day trips are perfect for those wanting a shorter, focused session, while the 8-hour trip (starting around 8:00 AM) gives you more time to move between spots, dial in the bite, and settle into a full day on the water—especially great for beginners looking for a more in-depth experience.

You’ll be fishing from a 16’ Lund, a reliable and efficient platform for these waters, equipped with GPS, fishfinder, trolling motor, and live bait well to keep you dialed in throughout the trip.

All rods, reels, tackle, and live bait are included, and your catch will be cleaned, rinsed, and bagged at the end of the trip. Just bring your Minnesota fishing license, food, drinks, and weather-appropriate clothing.

This is a well-rounded freshwater trip that combines steady fishing, local knowledge, and a relaxed, enjoyable day on the water.
