About Your Trip

Get ready to experience a top-tier fishing adventure with Michael, a professional angler who knows how to put you on fish and take your skills to the next level! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, Michael offers a variety of guided fishing trips designed to cater to all skill levels. With half-day (4-hour) and full-day (8-hour) options, there's something here for everyone looking to enjoy the thrill of the catch.

On these trips,
you'll be targeting some of the most popular freshwater species, including largemouth bass, crappie, white bass, hybrids, and panfish. Michael’s wealth of experience from competing nationally in the Major League Fishing Invitationals and Toyota Series circuits means you’ll be learning from the best—someone who spends over 200 days a year on the water and stays dialed in on the latest trends and techniques. Whether you’re out for a day of fun or looking to up your game, Michael is committed to giving you a world-class experience.

But it’s not just about reeling in fish—it’s about mastering the art of fishing. Michael offers exclusive electronics training (at an additional rate), helping you get the most out of your sonar and fish-finding gear. You'll also get insider tournament tactics and preparation tips, to learn the strategies that the pros use.

Michael’s mission is to ensure every client has a memorable trip—safe, enjoyable, and packed with action. His expertise, combined with a deep passion for the sport, means you'll not only have an exciting time on the water but also walk away with valuable knowledge and techniques to improve your angling game.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
