Smallmouth Bass

Smallmouth fishing starts to pick back up in mid August and will continue thru the end of October.  The action tends to be very good thru the late summer and into the middle of Fall.  As mid to late October rolls around the fish tend to become bigger on average but the weather can start to play a much bigger factor.

Come and experience a Lake Michigan fishing guide trip with someone that loves fishing as much as you! Lake Michigan has so much to offer.

The southern basin of Lake Michigan offers excellent Salmon and Trout fishing year round.

In the spring and fall it offers world class smallmouth bass fishing, and during the summer some of the biggest perch anywhere in the country.  Whether you are a seasoned angler looking for a new adventure or just beginning the great sport, there is something for you.

Just beginning fishing?  Come aboard and learn the right way to be safe but still have a great time and most importantly catch fish!

For all the seasoned anglers out there, you can come and put your years of skills to the ultimate test.

You'll experience big fish on light line in a large body of water while learning multiple ways to catch them.

Fishing Lake Michigan is also a great way to get kids or friends into fishing. When that big fish starts ripping line off your reel, you'll be left with a lifetime memory.

Lake Michigan has changed the way I fish, almost spoiled me. Come experience the big lake through my eyes and see the way fishing should be.

I am a fulltime Captain with a 100 ton Masters license. This is my full-time job. It is as important to me as it is to you that you love your time on the water and catch fish.

I will never quit working to keep you on fish. I am not in business to waste your time or money. If fishing is slow I will tell you, and we can shoot for a better day. Most importantly safety will always come first. Your safety is more important than anything. My job is to keep you safe and on fish.
