Capt. Pete grew up in Port Franks and lives in the community full time. He learned his love of fishing from his father and has over 40 years of experience fishing the southern basin of Lake Huron. As an avid waterman, a fully licensed and insured marine captain, you can be assured of a safe, fun, and productive fishing charter with Capt. Pete as your guide. The captain's favorite species to target would be Chinook Salmon. It's not native to Lake Huron and its numbers are low, but the pure power these fish demonstrate is amazing.
