Had a great time with Captain Paul today. Thank you for the trip and your sharing your knowledge. Brian and I really enjoyed it. We will come again!
My Dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 Liver Cancer in beginning of May. As a last trip with my Dad, he wanted to go fishing and make it memorable for my brother and I. Our fishing trip on Superior was everything we had hoped for. I'll definitely be back to fish with them again!
Skipper Rob and his First Mate Jake were great guys and got us on the fish! Boat was roomy and super nice! Really good fishing experience. Top Notch!
Captain Rob and Jake were excellent guides and took 4 complete rookies to fishing Lake Superior on with no issues at all! (2 of which were children). We would definitely fish with them again. We had a great morning of fishing, catching 11 nice lake trout.
First time fishing on Superior! Great experience with Captain Rob and Brody! Fun conversation and we managed to catch a few fish! Will definitely be back for more!
First time chartering. Capt Rob and 1st Mate Brody worked hard to find the fish but we did! Great conversation and great fishing! We will be back!
We enjoyed every minute of our fishing experience this morning with our 3 young kids (10, 8 & 5). Paul and Jake were great! I would highly recommend them and this charter!!
Capt. Rob and Phil were phenomenal. A great day out on the lake. 39.5 in. Lake Trout and my first ever Muskie. We will definitely be back next time we pass this way.
We had an amazing experience with Captain Rob and First Mate Jake. They got us on fish---we caught 7! We highly recommend Optimum for a Great Lake Superior fishing experience. Plus the fish taste delicious.
We had to switch charters do to mechanical problems. They were willing to help us out and make my Grandson's fishing (Birthday) trip a great success. 7 Lake Trout and 3 Salmon. Captain Paul was great and put us on the fish. We will definitely be booking a trip next year.
