Background
"I have run charter boats on Lake Michigan and the Gulf of Mexico for over 30 years." Captain Bob Poteshman has been working on other boats since even before that. His knowledge of the water and this area is huge. One of his preferred fishing styles is both anchored and drift bottom fishing. He runs a clean boat that has a comfortable pilot house.
