There are two different type of Charter fishing. The first is where you have the Captain and first mate set all the line and when a fish bite they hand you the rod after making sure there could be a fish on it. The second is my way, from the start you are giving instruction on how to set lines and fighting the fish, You are fishing the hand-on way and you help with everything. The time goes by faster, and your experience on the Lake Superior will be something you talk about for a long time. So it really your choice on who you want to fish with.
