Amazing trip
Summer twilight trip on June 2, 20262 adults

Before departure we got a message from Captain Mike that lake fishing can't be done to the charge of the forecast, so we went vertical jigging in the river and we got 12 walleyes in less than 3 hours, it was very fun, thanks to Captain Mike and his expertise, I would definitely come back soon

Summer twilight trip on May 28, 20232 adults

Mike's fishing charter was an absolute blast! My father and I have been avid fisherman our entire lives and Mike set a new standard for fishing! Not only was the fishing second-to-none, Mike was extremely professional, courteous, down-to-earth, and punctual. Mike's boat and gear was top notch, clean, and well organized. I would not hesitate to book again with South Shore Smallmouth Charters and will highly recommend to family and friends. Thanks Mike!!

What a day with Captain Mike!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 3, 20212 adults

Mike is a generous and knowledgeable guide who knows how to get you on fish. He has excellent equipment and went out of his way to tailor our trip to our needs to make sure that we got exactly what we wanted out of our day. Lake St Clair is an excellent fishery that changes year over year and understanding the patterns of smallmouth is key to success. Mike went above and beyond in sharing his expertise with us to make sure we were successful not only on our charter but as we go forward fishing on the lake regularly. I would recommend this trip to any angler young or old, new to the sport or highly experienced. He even went to the trouble of putting together a video of our trip captured on his GoPro camera. It was an incredible experience that we will not forget.

Reported catch:
Smallmouth Bass

Mike Kizis has been fishing since he was old enough to hold a rod. He always wanted to spend his life doing what he loves, and he's fortunate enough to have made his dreams come true. He enjoys nothing more than getting out on the water and sharing his passion with others, and promises to teach you his tried and tested techniques. With plenty of tournament experience under his belt too, he's just the guy to get you landing that prized fish.
