When you go on a Lake Superior charter fishing trip, being prepared is key. Below you will find everything you need to know ahead of your trip!

Departure times are 0600 hrs for morning trips (full day as well) and 1200 hrs for afternoon trips. Alternate departure times can be arranged on days when we do not have 2 half day trips booked.

What to bring:

• Warm clothes 
  The weather on Lake Superior can be unpredictable and we recommend to dress in layers with a waterproof shell.
  
  
• A camera
  Besides taking pictures of your catch, Lake Superior offers some of the most beautiful scenery and sunrises you can imagine. You will also have opportunities to take photos of ships, wildlife, lighthouses, sea caves, and more!
  
  
• Sunscreen
  We provide sunscreen on the boat, but it is recommended you bring you own to ensure you have your preferred brand and SPF.
  
  
• Sunglasses
  Just trust us here.
  
  
• Valid Licensing
  A valid annual MN fishing license and trout stamp or a valid 24 hour Minnesota fishing license (no stamp required). You can purchase these at most convenience or bait stores or you can buy your license online (link below). It is highly recommended you take care of this before you arrive at the dock. 
  
  For your convenience, here's a link to the MN DNR Online Licensing Page and the WI DNR Online Licensing Page. If you have any questions about what license you need, give us a call at (218) 343-8049! 
  
  
• A cooler and any food or beverage you wish to bring
  A cooler will allow you to keep your catch fresh as you transport it home. We’ll even clean and package the fish for you!
  
  
• A positive attitude!
  It’s simple, fish bite better when everyone on board has a positive attitude. At Paulsen's Quickstrike we strive to provide you with the most enjoyable day on the water possible. The reality of Lake Superior charter fishing is that there are days when the fish don’t cooperate. A positive attitude ensures that everyone has a enjoyable day regardless of how many fish find their way to the cooler.
  
  
• Last but not least… absolutely no bananas!
  Bringing banana’s on board is likely the only way to take a smile off your captain’s face here at Paulsen's Quickstrike. Confused? Learn a little more here. :)
