The Boat & Gear

The "Wound Up"

Is a Giant 2005, 38 foot Custom Built Northern Bay Sportfisherman. With over 16,000 pounds of displacement and powered by a huge Sisu Diesel motor, it is a true fishermans dream boat.  Besides being one of the largest charter boats in all of the Great Lakes, it is also one of the fastest cruising charters.  That means you’ll spend more productive and fun time fishing.

Heavy enough to ride and fish well when other boats become uncomfortable, it is the perfect combination of luxury, comfort and fishability. It has a spacious back deck (called a cockpit in nautical terms), for plenty of room to fight multiple big fish simultaneously, and a huge cabin area to get in out of the sun and elements.

Whether it's you and your buddies, a family excursion, or a corporate outing, you'll appreciate the safety, ride, and spaciousness of this first class fishing vessel.

The Gear

Rods & Reels

All top of the line, light tackle, new Shimano Talora Rods & Tekota Reels. While other Captains fear the loss of tackle while using light lines and rods, I feel it helps us get more bites and offers more sport to your experience. Imagine landing behemoth king salmon, sometimes over 30 lbs. on a 6 foot light action rod with 12 lb. test Excalibur monofilament line! It's a fight that you'll never forget.
