Mainly out of the Duluth-Two Harbors area. For now it will be all in Minnesota waters, but I may expand into fishing the south shore as well at a later time (WI).
It will cost more for me to do so, but if the demand is there it will be a possibility.

Nice B-man where do I sign up.
January 26, 2021 at 5:30 pm #2009696Best of luck in your new adventures!
Very cool to see you chase your dreams.
From what you share of yourself on IDO I see nothing but success in your fishing future.
January 26, 2021 at 5:46 pm #2009702I’m sure you’ve looked at many of the study guides or part of that are on line. Hours of reading and applying common sense. Good luck on your venture
January 26, 2021 at 5:48 pm #2009703Awesome. Congrats. Do you need to go to Florida for training?? I know a guy that think hot a captain license and had to go down there for some training.
How bout the S.S. MINNOW.
January 26, 2021 at 5:59 pm #2009709Very cool Bman. Let us all know where we can book trips with you. I’ve wanted to take a charter up there for a few years.

Good luck B-man,are the boy’s co-first mates?
It’s actually crossed my mind to offer a 50% discount for up to two clients if they want to fish with Hank and Ben
Fishing with kindergarteners has it’s caveats

Oh I’m in book it. My soon to be five year would think that is the best part of the charter..I honestly could sit back with cold one and enjoy the show.
January 26, 2021 at 7:21 pm #2009743Congratulations! Best of luck with everything!
We will have to drag you away up to LOW at least once.

January 26, 2021 at 8:16 pm #2009759Best of luck following your dream B-man. You and your boys would make for a great trip.
January 26, 2021 at 8:19 pm #2009762Congrats B-Man!
It’s amazing how close you will become with your clients. I’ve had many of the same clients for nearly 20 yrs. Many of them feel like family.
As far as bringing the boys fishing I think your closer clients will encourage it eventually.
The whole guiding thing is more work than you could ever imagine but its a lot of fun to share your passion with others.
Good luck!

January 26, 2021 at 9:25 pm #2009787Congrats and Good Luck.

Posts: 6765January 26, 2021 at 11:28 pm #2009801Would you be able to handle a family of four? One guy three girls ? Lucky day charters ??
I can. Ideally two or three people is perfect (not counting myself), but a fourth is possible, especially if one or more passengers are children and you expect a cozy boat
I have a small cuddy that works for a couple kids to play in or kick back and play on a tablet if it’s not too rough out. It also will let an adult and a child to take a nap, but my goal is always to keep the action going enough to prevent that
I also have a small privy in the cuddy for the girls to use, or a hunting blind to use on the deck.

Posts: 6765January 26, 2021 at 11:33 pm #2009803Again, a huge thank you to each and everyone one of you. I’m stoked to get you guys on the water and any active IDO member will get a break. Once the ball gets rolling I’ll get out more information. Your support means more than you could ever imagine!
Congrats and Good Luck.
Call it Twin Ports Charters for the boys!I’m liking it, if I decide to fish both MN and WI that would be a killer name!
January 27, 2021 at 3:00 am #2009806Congratulations bman! Thats fantastic and I assume a little tough to pull the trigger! But that’s what it takes.
How about “Superior All Year” as opposed to “All year Superior”? Kind f a double entrendre…
Best of luck!
January 27, 2021 at 5:54 am #2009807Congrats B-Man!! Very cool! Keep us posted on the progress. I’d love to get out there with my boy someday!
