Step aboard James Addiction Charter Fishing and experience what makes Knife River, Minnesota such a special place to fish. Captain James Hall, known to most as Captain Jimmy, has spent years studying Lake Superior, learning its moods, and finding the pockets where Trout, Salmon, and Walleye roam. His goal is simple: give every guest a day on the lake that feels fun and easy to enjoy, whether it’s your first time holding a rod or you’ve been chasing fish your whole life.
Your trip takes place on “Sweet Release,” a 34’ Tiara 3100 powered by twin 454 Crusader engines. There’s plenty of space for your group, plus top-tier electronics including Garmin Panoptix, GPS, Doppler Radar, Fish Hawk X4, and Raymarine Autopilot. The setup gives you accurate tracking, smooth navigation, and a clear look at what’s happening beneath the surface. Quality gear matters, and Captain Jimmy outfits the boat with Shimano rods, Penn Squall reels, Cannon Optimum downriggers, Traxtech holders, and Cisco electric planer reels to give every angler the best shot at success.
Fishing on Lake Superior offers variety you won’t find just anywhere. One trip might bring Lake Trout action, while another delivers a strong push of Salmon cruising the North Shore. Conditions shift daily, which keeps things interesting and makes each outing feel fresh. Captain Jimmy keeps the pace relaxed, teaches as needed, and matches every technique to the skill level of the group. Families, friends, business groups, and couples all find their rhythm quickly on the water.
Your charter includes all fishing gear and safety equipment. You’ll need a valid Minnesota fishing license and Trout stamp, which are not sold at the dock, so plan ahead before arriving. Bring a cooler with drinks and food, along with sunscreen, sunglasses, and anything else you want for a comfortable day outdoors.
Beyond fishing, James Addiction Charter Fishing also offers sunset cruises and scenic rides for guests who simply want to enjoy the beauty of the North Shore. These shorter outings are great for families with young kids, visitors with limited time, or anyone who wants a look at Lake Superior from the water.
A trip out of Knife River is more than a day of catching fish; it's a way to create memories that stay with you long after you’re back on shore. Join Captain Jimmy, take in the wide-open lake, and enjoy a slice of Minnesota that feels both wild and welcoming. Book your spot and get ready for a great day on the water.
