📸 Family Fun & Community Spirit:
From dockside fishing to trolling Lake Superior’s open waters, this event offers a little something for everyone! The Captain’s Platter Fishing Contest is more than just a competition—it’s a celebration of our boating and fishing community. Participants and volunteers are welcome to stay at the dock for the night and enjoy a late night campfire to discuss “the big one that got away” and other fishing tales.  Vessel Safety Checks (VSC) are available starting Friday until the contest ends.  The last few years, all participants have displayed current year VSC decals on their boats.  We also have a membership table set up to encourage participants to join America’s Boating Club® – Duluth Squadron.  This is a great event for the Duluth Squadron to showcase our dock facility to the volunteers, vendors, non-members and members.
