Jeff will put you on the fish if it can be done. He works his ass off to make sure you will get the best experience you can get. He’s a genuine good guy that will help learn and to catch. I highly recommend and I’d be happy to speak to you personally to recommend

Even though the water temp and weather conditions were not optimum, Jeff worked hard to get us fish to catch. He was very pleasant and patient with my wife and I.

Jeff is an awesome guid took a lot of time with my great niece teaching her to cast and catch fish. The wind was bad for trying to fish but he did get us on some fish instead of just giving up. Would recommend his service on a awesome lake

Jeff did a fantastic job putting us on fish throughout the day. Not only did I catch the snallies that I wanted, but also caught northern pike and perch. Highly recommend Jeff for your next trip on lake St Clair!
