Trolling Lake Michigan for Salmon from May 1st to September 15th

We run two trips a day- Morning trip is 6am-12 and afternoon trip is 4-10pm.

Multiple boats can be added- please call for that availability!

We head out from the marina make our way a short distance to Lake MI. From there may go a short distance or travel several miles depending on where the schools of fish are. We will set up a
large trolling spread and it's very common to get multiple fish on at a time. Once we are done we pull everything in and head back to the marina where we clean and bag your catch for you.

What’s your favorite band?
Kid Rock and lots of country
What’s your favorite movie?
I like action or suspence movies something with a good twist. But if I have my choice I'm watching hunting and fishing shows.
What’s your favorite sports team?
Detroit Lions, Michigan Wolverines but I don't take much time to fallow sports since I'm either on the water or in the woods.
What’s your drink of choice?
I like many drinks mostly water some coffee and maybe a glass of whiskey to unwind at the end of the day.
What was your last halloween costume?
We don't do Halloween instead we celebrate the fall season.
What do you want for Christmas this year?
We only celebrate jesus as we are a true Christian family but also very humble and accepting to others beliefs.
How did you get started guiding?
My dad and grandpa got me started at a young age fishing. Then one day I said to my dad I want to fish every day for the rest of my life so here we are. I find true enjoyment out of taking people out to catch fish of a lifetime!!
What makes you different from other guides?
I truly don't like to get out fished, I have a very strong work ethic!!! I'm also a family man and truly love getting kids and woman into big fish. I live on the river and have a fishing addiction. I've fished more days than anyone probably should lol and I work very hard to stay on top of the fish every day. Plus I have a addiction to top notch fishing gear you will have the best rods and reels in your hand for the fishing we do. Also my boats are fully equipped with the latest and greatest technology.
