Captain
Capt. Kyle Ender

Member since March 2017 St. Joseph, United States
Background
I was born into a family who fishes year-round for Salmon, Trout, and Perch on Lake Michigan. I got my degree in business from Ferris State University and have been running clients on fishing boats since I was 18 years old. I was successfully fishing my first professional tournament at 13 years old, and have been fishing professionally ever since. Since the beginning of my career, I have been blessed with the opportunity to meet and work hand in hand with some of the legendary inventors of our fishing techniques. I know what it takes for my clients to have a successful day on Lake Michigan and will always Captain my boats knowing that safety will always come first. At this point in my career I am enjoying meeting and helping teach the next generation of Lake Michigan and inland lake fisherman. I will continue to think outside of the box, and create wild and new ideas that will continue to revolutionize our industry. I look forward to creating you a memory that lasts forever FISH ON!!
Techniques
I troll for salmon and trout using down riggers, dipsey divers and my generation has invented and perfected the technique of using copper line and attaching it to side planers....this technique allows the angler to hone in on a certain depth and put more lines in the zone where the fish are targeted. It is not uncommon for me to run 15-20 fishing poles! For perch and walleye fishing, I Fish VERY aggressive. I like to jig and drift until i find the fish. When i leave the dock, i am looking to limit you out, however , i understand that it is called fishing and will take whatever we are blessed with. At the end of the day, you will go home with some of the Midwest’s best eating fish. Whether it’s a family fishing trip, a business trip or any other special event, put your trust in a Captain that has done his job continuously for decades and LOVES having fun and killing fish.
