- Background
- I've been fishing since I was a small kid. My Grandfather and Uncles taught and helped me catch my first panfish. My father took me on a canoe / camping / fishing trip to Michigan when I was very young for trout, from there I quickly learned and started doing a lot on my own. Neighbors took me along when I was 12 or 13 to Canada for pike, walleye, small mouths and Lakers. Caught my first salmon off of my sail boat at about age 13 or 14, an 18 pounder. Became a first mate on Salmon Charters in Grand Haven, MI. Fished as a captain on Chinook pier in Grand Haven and in Saugatuck and fished many tournaments during that time, several on some iconic Great Lakes Captains winning boats. I was one of the youngest Captains on Lake Michigan in the 80's and 90's getting my 1st Captains license at age 19. I logged over 7,000 hours in my 20's and countless hours since. I have a near Coastal 6 pack (can operate 100 miles from shore in any State of the US). I've commercial fished in Alaska for Salmon and fished many different Oceans, lakes and species of fish worldwide. Come take a trip with me on our beautiful newer Tiara, I promise to work very hard to make your trip enjoyable and successful. I am meticulous in keeping the boat and gear, safe and in great clean working order. Book & come fish with us today. Thank you for reading our profile. Capt JB
- Techniques
- I like all fishing, fresh and salt water. For Charters here on Lake Michigan, we troll using downriggers (3), dipsy divers, and planer boards for lure placement in the water column. Attached to our lines are combinations of spoons, flashers & flies, body baits and cut bait. Depending upon time of year and where fish are feeding all can work on any given day.
