Reviews of Happy Hooker Charters



We did an afternoon and a morning half day trip with Captain Marty, HappyHookerIV.com. There were 4 in my group, we had a great time, the fishing was great, we caught our limit of lake trout. Everybody got a chance to catch fish, Marty and Barry were a fun group, if you book

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

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...

We had a great time, obviously catching fish made easier. Captain Jake was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Had some fun things that would just make my teenage boys and I laugh. Thanks for the great time!

Captain Dave and his first mate Mike were incredibly kind and gracious. Oh and do they know where the fish are. Thank you Happy Hookers charters for some lifelong memories. I'll be sure to book again.

I am a Vietnam Veteran, Navy two tours. I have been dreaming about this charter for many years, finally booked it. It was everything I had hoped for and then some. My shoulder is sore from reeling in all the fish. Had a great time. Matt is a seriously great Charter Captain. One squared away dude.

Captain Peter and his shipmate John were great! We had a wonderful day on the water - weather was phenomenal! My 12 year old son and I caught some fish and had a blast on the boat. Thank you!

Great time and worth every penny, Captain Nathan was great and we really enjoyed the overall experience. Definitely will book this again!!!!!!!

THE BEST CHARTER FISHING TRIP WE HAVE EVER TAKEN. PROMPT, COURTEOUS & FRIENDLY SERVICE. WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME & DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE.

On Friday 9/22/17 we had a last minute idea to see if we could get some fishing in on Saturday morning 9/23/17. We looked at the places available in Duluth, on-line and in Trip Advisor. We called and Happy Hookers first and they said they had a cancellation that day for

Had a great time on the water. Everyone in our group successfully landed a fish. Captain and crew were great and professional. Awesome trip!

We had a great trip. The captain and mate made the trip an awesome experience and all aboard had fun on the trip. Bonus was my grandson caught two large fish - one walleye and the other was a trout. Looking forward to some yummy dinners.

Our youngest son loves to fish and had the time of his life! I think the other three also had a great time 😉 Captain Marty very friendly and knowledgeable! Would recommend!

2nd year in a row with Capt. Riley. Just missed our limit after getting our limit last year. Kudos to Capt. Riley for taking us out without a 1st mate to assist. Hope to back next year!

What a great time. Captains Jacob and Jamie were both knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with. Will go again. Thanks guys!

The trip was amazing. Easy set up and book. I have gone with either Captain Dave or Captain Peter for about 14 years. Never a bad experience and the fishing has been good too!! Our trip in August could have been tough as the fish were scattered. Captain Peter made the trip enjoyable and successful. I appreciate the effort!

The reviews were spot on. We went out with Matt and Justin, These guys are awesome, super friendly, helpful, put us right on the fish. Lots of good laughs! Highly recommend!

7/2/21. When you book charter boats as far in advance as we do its based off our busy lives, so we understand that you are throwing a dart at the calendar and we hope for good weather and that the fish are there that day. Well we got both great weather and awesome fishing. We went out with Captain Jamie and Conner. Not sure if I can say enough good things about those two. Great guys, very knowledgeable and skilled. They have a nice atmosphere on their boat, and clearly their personalities work well with each other. We have done charters all over the country and this trip was the best because the lake was like glass we limited out and again the guys were great. This is our second time fishing with this company, we also hammered em previously with Captain Pete. I would recommend this charter fleet to anyone out there. It’s a classy well run operation by the Dahl family and again Jamie and Conner were awesome. We are going home with another full cooler and we will be back. Thank you very much again for a great experience out on Lake Superior. Mike and Kiley

Captain Pete and John were great! We had a lot of fun and hope to be back in the area next spring for another fishing trip with them!

Great trip! We live in Duluth and this was our first charter trip! Plan to do more of these! Great crew on the Treble hook!!

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.
