Captain Michael has been fishing the coastal bend his entire life, and can accommodate pick-up locations all over! Every chance he gets he's out on the water chasing down anything that can swim! Though he spent the majority of his career working on the rigs (which allowed him to guide trips on his weeks of leave) he recently switched to guiding trips full-time. His true calling of sharing his extensive knowledge of fish habits and putting smiles on clients faces was much more important to him! These days, that's exactly what he does! And he's really good at it!
