Reviews of Happy Hooker Charters
Captain Dave Dahl and First Mate Mike were outstanding Not just with fishing but good conversation. I would highly recommend them for your next Duluth / Lake Superior fishing trip. Very reasonable pricing with the experience and extensive knowledge of the lake and fishing. I most certainly will be booking my next Duluth fishing trip with them. Thanks again guys for a great day out! Dan...
Took the morning trip out this past late-June weekend with five friends. Captain Dave & Mike were great and we caught a good number of trout and three salmon. Great morning with incredible weather. Highly recommend and hope to go again!
A great time was had by all! Captain Dave and his first mate Mel did a great job.0
Captain Riley Leslie and JR were awesome! Although the water was choppy they made the best of our trip! We caught 7 large lake trout. We would definately come back to this charter group! Thanks 🙂
THE BEST CHARTER FISHING TRIP WE HAVE EVER TAKEN. PROMPT, COURTEOUS & FRIENDLY SERVICE. WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME & DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE.
It was a great time, caught fish to bring home! The capt and mate were wonderful. Would highly recommend Peter!!
Captain Matt and 1st Mate Justin were AWESOME!!!!!! They knew the perfect spot and we got our limit in just a few short hours! We had a blast. We will be back. Thank you!!!
Our group had a great time with Dave and Mel keeping us entertained throughout the day on a calm-wind tough bite, but did end up with a few bags of filets.
Captain Peter and First Mate John were knowledgeable and informative. We learned so much! The weather didn’t cooperate mid trip and they had a plan B that worked quite well. Caught salmon, trout and walleye. Would definitely recommend these guys.
We had a half day morning trip with Dave at the end of may. We had a blast! He got us on fish right away but more important he was just an overall fun guy to fish with. We will be back next year! Thanks for the trip!
We had such a fabulous time with Captain Jamie and First Mate Dan. Besides the beautiful weather and great fish we caught, it was relaxing and so enjoyable to spend hours together on our great lake. I recommend this trip and this captain to everyone!
We had Captain Marty and he and his first mate were awesome. Fishing was slow but he worked hard to try and find fish and we were able to bring fish home! Thanks to all!
Our kids were thrilled to catch their first fish here. Dave & his daughter were the best team. Were they full of energy. When the string moved, they went into action and let no fish get away. We got trout & salmon. (The big one to stuff; the rest to eat.). They even did a
Captain Matt and his deckhand were awesome and very enjoyable to be around! They put us on fish quick and we limited out on lake trout on our 1/2 day charter. These master baiters highly recommend the Happy Hookers Charter!
Jeff Smith and I had a great time with captain Matt Massie and first mate Justin. We are planning on doing it again next year. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. Would recommend them
Booked a half day fishing charter with Captain Marty and first mate Reed. They knew where to go for fish and provided a lot of information on what equipment to use and how to find the fish. We caught 4 good sized trout which they cleaned for us to take home. The highlight was my
Thanks to Captain Peter for rescheduling our our trip. It turned out to be a great one. The boys learned so much from the Captain and mate. It may have been a little chilly out but we all enjoyed it . We are looking forward to another trip next year.
My fourth trip with Captain Pete and 1st Mate John. First day the lake was choppy and cold, caught 9 great fish and did a little chumming because of the waves, but still had a great time. The second day weather was beautiful and the lake was calm. We caught 14 fish. Great day!
We had a beautiful warm sunny day. We caught six lake trout and Captain Marty and First Mate Conner were wonderful!!! We had an awesome time and would highly recommend Marty and Conner!! Thank you for a wonderful time!
We had a great fishing trip with Captain Riley! I cannot recommend Happy Hooker Charters enough. Even when the fishing was slow, it was so nice to sit back and enjoy a morning on the water.
Booked a half day fishing 4 days in advance. Told to be at Red Lobster at 545 am. Showed up at 530 am. Was told my captain had cancelled that day. “Didn’t someone call you?” No no one called. I got up at 3 am and drove and hour to be there. Was told I could get $100 off if I book the next day or two with them. Tried booking the next two days and was told they weren’t fishing due to weather. Wind was 5 mph and no rain. Bought a trout stamp also for this. Very unsatisfied. Being from out of town this was my only chance at fishing. I could’ve booked through a different company but they kept leading me on.
Capt. Riley Leslie was an excellent guide. One member of our group, Adele, had not fished very much. He did an excellent job of explaining what was happening with all of the outriggers, boards, etc. When she hooked a good size king salmon, he talked her through landing it without getting directly involved. Capt. Riley cleaned the fish we caught--several king salmon and trout; we had a great dinner when we got home. The North Shore is a great place to visit.We plan to return !
