Nothing better than helping kids catch their first fish. These kiddos did a great job and reeled in a great catch for their family to enjoy tonight. The walleye bite continues to be fantastic.

06/23/2024

Tough bite this morning, but we sure enjoyed the beautiful weather! We ended with a nice mix of species including a rare flasher fly walleye catch!

06/20/2024

We didn’t know what to expect today on the lake after the recent floods, but we found some great water and lots of nice Lake Trout! It was an adventure at times dodging debris, but the great bite made it all worth it!

Bad weather, great fishing. Thanks to all the great clients that toughed it out with us through some tough weather this weekend!

06/13/2024

Walleye bite still going strong. We’ve got midweek openings if you want to get some Golden Loins!

06/10/2024

For some reason we’ve got a bunch of mid week openings this week. Fishing has been good for lots of different species! Hit us up.

Here some highlights from the past few days on True North 2!

Pounding on the Gravel Lizards in 35 mph winds! These clients were sure happy to have a stable boat with a large cabin when the weather picked up this afternoon. They toughed it out and went home with a pile of golden loins!

Awesome full day aboard True North 2 with Captain Kent today. A common question people ask is, “what’s the most fish you’ve had on at one time?” Well we didn’t break that record today, but we came close by successfully landing all 5 fish hooked at the same time. Luckily we had 6 anglers aboard that could handle a rod!

06/02/2024

The bite was a little tough today but we still managed some nice multi species catches aboard True North 2 with Captain Kent. We battled the fog in the morning, but overall it was a beautiful day with 5 different species hitting the net!

Another great trip with this group. It was a wonderful afternoon of fishing. Sunday June 2nd just opened up due to a cancellation for Captain ! .com

Captain Kent Paulsen’s state record Coho Salmon last fall was 29 1/2” in length. A fellow boat in Lift Bridge Charter Association landed a 29 1/2” coho in May! That means this fall the Coho could be real big. Get on the books for your chance! Great job Brad.

It’s a bit wet out today

05/20/2024

They were snapping today out of Duluth! Tons of action and smiles all around as we navigated numerous doubles and triples. We released a 28.5 in steelhead (sorry no pic) and a few big Lakers. The next month should be 🔥🔥🔥.

We still have a few prime openings to get you on a great walleye or trout and salmon bite!

Walleyes in the morning, mixed bag in the afternoon. Fantastic bite today and it’s only going to get better in the coming weeks. There’s no better time to book a trip.

05/14/2024

Golden Loins!

Message us about special pricing on mid week walleye trips. We are on a really good bite right now with fast action and great table fare!

Smelt and Steelhead report 4/28/24:

We got some big rains mixed with some big NE winds this weekend, making both smelting and steelhead fishing very difficult.

It seems that the smelt run is coming to an end, especially in the rivers. Guys are still getting them on the beaches and piers, but it’s slowing down significantly. It’s been one of the best runs in recent memory.

Steelhead fishing remains good on the entire shore. The numbers seem to be a bit on the light side, but the fish are BIG this year. The rivers should be in great shape in a few days and hopefully this rain brings in the final push of fresh fish.

We hope you all have had a chance to get out and experience all the spring season in our region has to offer! From here on out we’ll be focusing on our charter fishing season with some mushroom hunting mixed in. Tight lines!

First trip of 2024 in the books. It took us awhile, but we eventually found some nice ones today! This young man thoroughly enjoyed this 13th birthday with his dad in the wind and waves!

04/22/2024

04/21/2024

We ended up with a little extra smelt from last night. Text 218-343-8049 if you need some fresh, sand free smelt. Pickup in Duluth.

04/18/2024

First charter in the water for 2024. Our books are open for trips starting as soon as NOW!

4/17/24 steelhead and smelt update:

As of today, Steelhead have arrived throughout the entire shore. Rivers are a bit high after the recent rains, but fishable. Fishing has been a little hit and miss so far, but the average size of the fish this year is impressive. Expect things to only get better in the next week or so.

Smelt ran last night on the lower shore rivers. No crazy numbers yet, but most guys who put in some time were able to get at least a couple gallons. River temps reached 42-44 during the daytime hours and sat around 38-39 at night.

People have had some limited success on Park Point, but the NE wind has made smelting on the beach dangerous/impossible. Anyone who claims they got smelt on park point last night is pulling your leg. Watch out for false reports, there are a lot of them out there this year. With that being said, park point should produce this week on the nights that the wind allows us to get out. Beach temps are nearing 40 degrees with colder water on the Duluth side and slightly warmer water down past the airport.

04/15/2024

Steelhead season is in full swing on both the Brule and the North Shore. Smelt are just starting to run, and our charter season will begin next week. Gotta love this time of year in the northland.

Throwback to last spring. We’re hoping to be on the Cohos again within a couple weeks!
