Lake Superior Sizzles: Monster Chinook & Mixed Bag Bonanza
Hot bite and happy crew! Summer fishing on Lake Superior out of Knife River Marina was in full swing as I took Jeremy and their crew out for an afternoon half-day trip with Waypoint Charters. Clear conditions greeted us as we set out from the Knife River, perfect for targeting a mix of species. The water looked prime for some action as we headed to our first spot. Once the stage was set, we got down to business with a mix of trolling, jigging, and live bait fishing. These techniques really paid off as we worked the lake. We managed to hook into a nice variety - Coho Salmon, Walleye, Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, and Rainbow Trout all made appearances. The highlight reel included a 15-inch Coho, a 19-inch Walleye, and an impressive 39-inch Lake Trout. But the real showstopper was a monster 63-inch Chinook Salmon that gave us quite the battle. It was one of those catches that reminds you why Lake Superior is such a special fishery. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, a cooler full of fish, and some great memories made on the water. If you're looking to get in on some Lake Superior action, now's the time to book a trip with us at Waypoint Charters. Our Afternoon Half Day Fishing Trips are perfect for anglers of all levels. We're running charters daily out of Knife River Marina, targeting a mix of salmon and trout species that call these waters home. Whether you're after the hard-fighting Chinook, the acrobatic Coho, or the tasty Walleye, we've got the experience and local knowledge to put you on the fish. Our Lake Superior charters offer a unique opportunity to experience world-class fishing right here in Minnesota. We provide all the gear and expertise you need for a successful outing. From trolling the deep waters to jigging the structure, we'll use whatever techniques are working best that day. And with the potential for trophy-sized catches like that 63-inch Chinook, you never know when you might land the fish of a lifetime. So grab your crew, pack some snacks, and join us for an afternoon on Lake Superior. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, we'll make sure you have a great time on the water.

Steady Summer Bite for Trout and Salmon on Lake Superior
Fishing on Minnesota’s stretch of Lake Superior is heating up as we roll into July. Anglers targeting lake trout have been seeing solid action offshore, especially in the 80 to 180-foot range. Trolling with spoons and flasher-fly combos continues to produce results, with early morning bites being the most consistent. Popular colors lately include green, chartreuse, and silver. Coho salmon are starting to show up in better numbers, particularly near the mouths of the Lester and Knife Rivers. They’re being caught higher in the water column, and fast-trolling small dodgers and peanut flies seems to do the trick. Look for surface temperatures in the low to mid-50s and keep your gear just below the thermal break. Nearshore, brown trout and the occasional steelhead are hitting crankbaits and spoons in the early morning hours. Shore anglers have also reported success casting off the rocks near Two Harbors and Brighton Beach with spoons and stickbaits. The bite slows down during the heat of the day, so early risers are being rewarded. As always, check wind and weather conditions before heading out, and keep safety gear close at hand. The lake has been generous lately, and now’s a great time to hit the water while conditions are favorable and the fish are hungry.

Superior Lake fishing
You should anticipate catching a lot more trout in July since they are moving closer to the lake's surface to feed. The fishing is still outstanding for pike and walleye.

working the spoon boxes today!
We are gearing up for what is going to be an awesome season of fishing for Salmon, Steelhead, Lake Trout and more. A crucial element to ensuring we have a good season is ensuring that all of our Lake Superior fishing tackle is in order! The spoon boxes are looking like they are up to the challenge of putting a bunch of fish in the boat this spring season!

Lake Superior July Fishing Trip '22
Started our trip in Knife River, MN as we cruised along Lake Superior. We are glad to catch more than 3 Trouts and some Salmon in the area. July is indeed one of the best months and seasons to hook some Trout.

August Trout Run in Lake Superior
We were able to put some massive meat on the board with our large catch of Lake Trout this August. We definitely enjoyed casting a line during this time; despite the presence of bananas on our boat.
