Paulsen’s Quickstrike is a Lake Superior charter fishing service based out of Superior, WI and Duluth, MN, built around one simple goal: give every group a safe, fun, memorable day on the water - and put you on fish.

We’re fully licensed to operate in both Wisconsin and Minnesota, giving you flexibility on where your trip launches, where you fish, and how your day is structured on the big lake. Whether you’re coming from the Twin Ports area, up the North Shore, or across the bridge from either side, you’ll be fishing with a crew that knows the local waters and runs a professional, compliant operation from start to finish.

Captain Kent Paulsen brings decades of hands-on experience on Lake Superior and regional rivers, with a strong focus on safety, clear communication, and making sure everyone on board has a great time—first-timers and seasoned anglers alike. From the moment you step on the boat, you can expect a full-effort trip, quality gear, and an approach that’s tailored to your group’s goals.

We’re also big on respecting the resource and the fishery that makes this place special. Ready to fish? We’d love to have you aboard!
