Captain
Brian Seiferlein

Member since May 2019 Linwood, United States
Background
Captain Brian has been a licensed captain for the past 6 years but he's been an avid fisherman much longer. He always enjoyed fishing and it's one of the things that bring him happiness and peace. He became a guide because he loves sharing his knowledge and passion with his customers. Capt. Brian loves to ice fish for Walleye on Saginaw Bay, Steelhead is his favorite prey on the Manistee River, and Salmon is his catch of choice on the Platte River and Platte Bay and we jig for Lake Trout on Lake Michigan out from Frankfort. I prefer jigging and casting over trolling.
Techniques
Jigging and casting. I hate trolling. Trolling is very boring to me as I like to feel the “whack” of the fish biting and then fighting the actual fish vs fighting the boat as it trolls along.
