Reviews of Happy Hooker Charters
Had a great time on the water. Everyone in our group successfully landed a fish. Captain and crew were great and professional. Awesome trip!
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 !
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 🙂
June 21, 2021 Thank you to Captain Riley and Jon for a wonderful day of fishing on Lake Superior! It was my birthday and I wanted to make it a special day...well you did make it special. From me catching the first big trout to my husband catching two fish on one line and the biggest....it was a great! Thanks for the memories! Would do this again in a heartbeat!
Great time! We did a half day afternoon trip and caught a couple good size lake trout. We will do it again!
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!
Four of us on the boat and we had a great time. The lake was beautiful, and we caught some nice lake trout and some salmon. The crew were fun and educational (our first time fishing the big lake) and I'm glad we got to know them! We will be back!
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!
Crew was friendly and attentive. They handled everything so we could just catch fish. I would use them again
Captain Matt was great as always. Great deckhand in Adam also, that dude was rad. Repeat customer and I’ll be back. Great trip, great boat and he put on fish, again.
The captain and mate was top notch, they treated us great I would recommend them to anyone.
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.
We had a great time with Captain Peter and first mate John. First time on Lake Superior so didnt know what to expect. A little slow in the early morning but they did everything they could by switching hooks and trying new methods to get the fish biting. Our group caught 6 fish. Besides the fishing it was a beautiful day just to be out on the boat.
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 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!
This is our second year with Captain Riley. My grandsons love him! He never disappoints in finding the fish. Has the patience to answer every one of their many, many questions. Half way thru the trip my 8 year old grandson turned to me and said “ grandma, can we come back next year, too?” This fishing trip is not only a highlight of our year but making wonderful memories my grandsons will never forget! Thank you, Captain Riley!
Absolutely 💯 AWESOME! Totally recommend scheduling a charter trip. Captain Matt on the 5☆Hooker was great. Already thinking of booking a trip for next season.
What a great day. The trip was awsome the captain was exceptional as well as his first mate. Jacob got us out there promptly and within 10 minutes of the lines in the water the fish were on we had 2 unfortunately lost 2 but we all hit one over 24 inches and both salmon and trout were of excellent size. Would highly recommend and we've already booked our trip for may. Thanks for the fun for entertaining my kids and giving us an experience of a lifetime!
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!
My husband and I took a 2 week road trip in our 5th wheel thru several states. We wanted to fish Lake Superior because neither of us had ever fished it. My husband found Happy Hooker Charters on the web and after reading all the wonderful reviews, we decided to book with them.
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.
We had a fabulous trip with Capt. Nathan and his first mate, Jake. They worked the poles but allowed three teenage grandsons, their moms and their grandma reel in the trout! Lots of knowledge, lots of fun.
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!
Great trip with Captain Jim Quade. Caught lot's of fish. Water was VERY rough; Jim and Brody worked hard to give us a good experience. Can't wait to return!
