Premium 8-Hour Lake Superior Fishing Adventure

Lake Superior's Ultimate 8-Hour Fishing Adventure

Ready for a full day of chasing trophies on the Big Lake? Fish of the Gitch's 8-hour private trip is your ticket to the best fishing Lake Superior has to offer. We're talking serious time on the water to dial in on monster Lake Trout, hard-fighting Salmon, and maybe even land that once-in-a-lifetime catch. With Capt. Lorin at the helm, you're in for a day of non-stop action, killer views, and memories that'll have you itching to get back out there.

What to Expect on the Water

This ain't your average quick hit-and-run fishing trip. Eight solid hours gives us the flexibility to really work the lake and maximize your chances of hooking into something special. We'll start by targeting the morning bite, then adjust our tactics and location as the day progresses. Capt. Lorin knows these waters like the back of his hand, so we'll be on the fish whether they're hugging the bottom or cruising the surface. Expect to cover some serious water, from nearshore haunts to deep-water honey holes that casual anglers never reach. And don't worry if you're new to big lake fishing – Capt. Lorin's got all the gear and know-how to get you on fish, even if it's your first time wetting a line.

Top-Notch Techniques

On Lake Superior, versatility is the name of the game. We'll be rigged and ready for whatever the lake throws our way. Most days, we'll be running a mix of downriggers, dipsy divers, and copper lines to cover the entire water column. For Lake Trout, we might be working spoons or cut bait near bottom in 100+ feet of water. When the Salmon are running, get ready for some high-energy action as we troll flasher/fly combos or big plugs. If we're lucky enough to hit a hot Steelhead bite, be prepared for some serious battles on lighter tackle. Capt. Lorin's always got a few tricks up his sleeve, so don't be surprised if we switch things up to dial in on what's working that day.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"We spent the day fishing with Captain Lorin, and he truly made it one to remember. His expertise, calm approach, and clear love for what he does made all the difference—especially with the bite being slow across the lake on Saturday. Despite the tough conditions, we brought in double digits, including lake trout, coho salmon, and the highlight for me—a surprise 28-inch walleye! I've been chasing a big one for three decades, and finally landed it.

While others were reporting a tough day with minimal action, we were lucky to be on the right boat with the right guide. Huge thanks to Captain Lorin—this trip was everything I hoped for and more.

I'll try to upload a few more photos later, including my walleye and a midday shot from our lunch break!" - Scott

Species You'll Want to Hook

Lake Trout: The kings of Lake Superior, these deep-water bruisers can push 30+ pounds. They're here year-round, but the spring and fall are prime time for trophy-sized fish. Lake Trout love cold water, so we'll often be fishing deep – sometimes over 200 feet down. When you hook into a big one, get ready for an arm-burning fight as you winch them up from the depths. Their firm, orange flesh makes for some of the best eating around, whether you're grilling, smoking, or frying them up.

Salmon: Both Chinook (King) and Coho Salmon call Lake Superior home, and they're some of the hardest-fighting fish you'll encounter. The Chinook run typically peaks in late summer, while Cohos are more of a fall target. These fish are built for speed, and when they hit, hold on tight! A 20+ pound King Salmon screaming line off your reel is an experience you won't soon forget. And don't even get me started on how good they taste – there's nothing quite like fresh-caught Lake Superior Salmon on the grill.

Steelhead: These lake-run Rainbow Trout are the acrobats of Lake Superior. Spring and fall are the best times to target them, as they move in closer to shore. Steelhead are known for their spectacular fights, complete with drag-screaming runs and airborne leaps. They're not the biggest fish in the lake, but pound-for-pound, they might just be the toughest. Landing a chrome-bright Steelhead is a true accomplishment for any angler.

Walleye: While not as common as in some inland lakes, Superior's Walleyes are something special. They grow big and fight hard in the cold, clear waters of the Big Lake. We don't target them specifically on most trips, but hooking into one is always a welcome surprise. These "marble eyes" are prized for their excellent table fare – there's a reason they're Wisconsin's state fish!

Brown Trout: Another bonus species that adds some spice to our Superior trips. Browns in the big lake can grow to impressive sizes, and they're known for their wary nature and hard strikes. Fall is usually the best time to connect with these spotted beauties, as they move in closer to shore. A big Brown Trout is a true trophy, both for its rarity and its stunning colors.
