My name is Captain Bryan Altendorf “Bry the Fish Guy” and I am a U.S.C.G Captain and love to fish! Is started fishing when I was 8, thanks to my grandfather. After fishing many different bodies of water, I fell in love with Lake Superior (Gitche Gumee) and have never looked back. I have seen all of the Apostle Islands and enjoy giving tours of the area as well.
