Captain
Jim Kluth

Member since March 2021 Lorain, United States
Background
Captain Jim has fished Lake Erie all his life. He works full-time as a Cleveland firefighter who will retire in 2022. He originally planned to wait until retirement to get a Captain's license, but due to the circumstances, he decided to pursue it a couple of years early. He is happy that he did and is now inviting you to join him fishing Lake Erie.
Techniques
Captain Jim prefers trolling because so much ground is covered with 3 rods in the water per person, but will also drift fish if that is your request.
