License*: If you are a Wisconsin resident and have a Wisconsin resident fishing license, you must add a Great Lakes Salmon and Trout Stamp if you don't already have one (cost is $10.00). If you don’t have a Wisconsin fishing license or are a non-resident, you must obtain a license which includes Great Lakes Salmon and Trout Stamp. This can be done online. DNR REQURIES YOU CARRY A PAPER COPY OF YOUR FISHING LICENSE ON LAKE SUPERIOR. We would happily do this step for you if we could, but the DNR requires your personal information for licenses. This is applicable to fishing charters only.
*This is for charters out of Bayfield, WI only.
Dress: We recommend dressing in layers with sensible shoes (they may get wet on certain tours). A hat with brim, sunglasses, and sunscreen are recommended.
Gear: Provided are a couple pairs of binoculars for sightseeing, but you may bring your own if you prefer. We can not operate within 1/4 mile of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. We will be applying to do so during their next permitting period in October, 2023.
Processing your catch: If you plan to keep your catch, please remember to bring a cooler with ice to bring your fish home. Your cooler will remain at the marina. We will keep your fish on ice for you while you're aboard.
