From early beginnings in my grandfather's basement rummaging through his triple-decker Plano tackle box to fishing with him and my father anywhere I could, fishing has been in the blood. The school years were devoted to trolling the great lakes for Salmon and Trout and chasing Steelhead in the tributaries. Wintering in Arizona while a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers, I met Roosevelt Lake guide, Art Chamberlin. Art introduced me to tournament Bass fishing and changed the direction of my fishing pursuits. Since that first tournament in 1989, I have been Bass fishing local, regional, and national tournaments as much as time would allow. In 2016, I began another chapter in bass fishing as a USCG-licensed guide on Lake St. Clair and connecting waters. The drive to succeed in professional sports is the same drive I have when heading out for a day of fishing on the big pond. As was the case in that first tournament, (Art caught the only keeper and I never got bit), you always learn something new, and that's the beauty of fishing.

    Jeff is the man

    8 Hour Trip – Smallmouth Bass • 2 adults

    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
