MEET THE CAPTAIN AND 1ST MATE and Weekend 1st Mate

Captain Scott Berndt was born in Hayward, and raised in Superior, Wisconsin. At the age of 10 he started Lake Superior fishing with his Father, fishing most of the weekend when weather permitted. This continued on till age 18 when he joined the Military for a 23 ½ year career. After retiring from the U. S. Army he started fishing on Lake Superior once again. After finding no work in Superior, he moved to the City of Andover, Minnesota showing his children the love of fishing on Lake Superior.

After some years he started to check on what it takes to be Charter Captain and take people fishing. In the year 2009 after attending the Coast Guard Captain course, he passed allowing him the opportunity to start his own charter business. Scott then started to put things together to start a business as a Charter fishing guide on Lake Superior, including updating his boat with more modern fishing equipment. In the spring of 2010 he welcomed his first charters as the Captain of his own business, N&S Great Lakes Fishing.

Since starting fishing on Lake Superior in 1964 many different fishing techniques have change. For the past ten years he has fished the lake continually during the spring, summer and fall. Finding fish and catching them, getting better every year. He has increase his knowledge of where the fish are during certain time of year which only enhances your overall experience.

Having 45+ years fishing on Lake Superior, doing something that he loves to do, he now gets to show other people that fishing Lake Superior is fun. You don't have to travel 500 miles to get great fishing on Lake Michigan when you can drive 150 miles and have the same type of fun on Lake Superior. Since I'm a veteran, a discount will be given to any veteran on the booking price as a thank you for their service. Fishing is one of the best ways to relax and get away from all the stress in life. Take time off and enjoy life and maybe enjoy fishing on Lake Superior.
