NOW THE HOT STEELHEAD FISHING NEWS AND MORE!!!!

We are experiencing a thaw and this lets me get into the lower end of the Big Manistee River that has been frozen for the last 2 months. When this happens each year we have great fishing as this exposes many steelhead that has never seen any fishing pressure and are stacked up ready to bite! This is a great opportunity for very good days of fishing. I will be fishing steelhead and trolling Brown trout till the 20th of April. There can be many advantages to going soon not much fishing pressure yet and lots of unsuspecting steelhead to be caught!

SMALLMOUTH

Looking ahead to May Smallmouth action I already have many bookings for this unbelievable fishery on Lake St Clair where 50-100 fish days are the norm. My son Garrett will be on the water also this summer again with his bass boat like last year so we can handle larger groups. Garrett has his Captain license and extensive training by me; everyone last year said they would go with him anytime! Even with two boats we are filling up fast!

MUSKY JIGGING & CASTING

Musky casting and jigging starts in June you have to check this out we put more musky in the boat last year than ever before and it was because of some new methods we have put into use that made all the difference! To find out more you have to get on board? Again we are running 2 bass boats to handle your needs!
