Michael Simmons

Member since June 2017 Kingsland, United States
Background
Captain Michael, also known as Captain Big Mike, is a lifelong boating and fishing enthusiast with a deep passion for pursuing his favorite species—the incredibly vigorous striped bass (striper). Now a proud resident of Kingsland in the heart of Texas Hill Country, he brings decades of experience to the water. After a successful career in the high-tech IT and computer industry, he embraced a semi-retired lifestyle and relocated to Texas in 2020 following 30 years in Southern California. Passionate about sharing his love for fishing, Captain Big Mike enjoys meeting new people and educating others on the sport. His guiding experience spans over eight years, covering freshwater lakes across California, Nevada, and Arizona, as well as deep-sea adventures from Long Beach to Mexico in the Pacific Ocean. Whether teaching techniques or chasing stripers, hybrids, white bass, catfish, crappie, bass, he’s always eager to share his expertise and enthusiasm with fellow anglers!
Techniques
I have experience in many different styles and techniques for freshwater and saltwater fishing.
