Get to know your Captain - Landen Simpson
I was born and raised in Northern Michigan, which allows me the pleasure of seeing many of its hidden gems, including some of the worlds best fishing (I may be a little biased). From a young age I took an interest in fishing and can remember countless days after elementary school where I would beg my dad to take me fishing. As I got older, fishing became my life. I studied environmental eng. at Michigan Tech and have applied that knowledge to fishing.
For example, my studies on water and sediment samples help me better understand how to 'match the hatch'. Post college, I soon realized I was not designed to sit in a lab to study fish and microbes, but rather be out in the world studying them. So here I am, a 25-year old living the dream of my first love, fishing! I would love to have you on one of my Charters this year to share my love of fishing.
Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.
You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Landen is a young captain who has the knowledge of a seasoned veteran. He has the skill set to make a career out of guiding his home waters. Look forward to coming back in a few years to see him on his own craft.
Thank you Michael, we hope you can make it back up soon.
