Background
Guide Jeff has been fishing Lake Michigan for quite some time, and has developed a sense of where the fish are and how to catch them. He loves taking people out, and showing them the beauty of this big lake. The only thing he loves more is the look on people's faces when they reel in a big Salmon!
