Background
Captain Kent Seymour has over two decades of experience in the fishing industry. He loves the waters, getting people out and catching fish. Captain Kent is fun and caters to his clients' needs. He enjoys teaching young fishermen

In the spring and fall I like the Jigging method when the water is colder. Then through the middle of the summer season I like to troll either the shallow Waters or deep water for our gigantic lake trout
